About

De Bruce ward occupies the central and northern coastal section of Hartlepool. The area includes the historic Headland, a distinct peninsula that forms the original old town. This part of the town centre features the marina, the modern waterfront development, and the railway station. The ward's landscape is characterised by its direct access to the North Sea coastline.

A notable structure is the late 12th-century St Hilda's Church, which stands near the entrance to the working port. The ward contains the Borough Hall and the Heugh Gun Battery museum. Residential areas consist primarily of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, alongside more modern estates. The ward's economy is linked to the ongoing operations of the harbour.
