Fens & Greatham

About

Fens & Greatham ward lies on the western edge of Hartlepool, primarily consisting of the historic village of Greatham and surrounding residential developments. The area is characterised by a mix of older housing stock and newer estates, with local amenities centred along the main road through the village. Greatham Creek forms a significant natural boundary to the north, separating the ward from the wider Teesmouth area.

The ward contains extensive areas of flat, low-lying land historically associated with marsh and farmland. A notable feature is the presence of the Greatham Hospital site, a former military hospital with a long history, set within its own grounds. The landscape is open, with views towards the industrial complexes across the creek, and the ward provides a semi-rural residential setting within the borough's boundaries.
