Hartlepool Bombardment 16th December 1914

The first major attack on British soil of WW1 took place one hundred years ago today. Three German warships fired over one thousand shells into the town causing wide spread damage and killing over one hundred.

There is an article in the current issue of The Durham Bugle,  magazine of the friends of the museum.
