The old town was founded in the 7th century around the monastery of Hartlepool Abbey. The village grew into a town in the Middle Ages and its harbour became an important port. The new town of West Hartlepool was created in 1835 after a new port was built and railway links from the South Durham coal fields and Stockton-on-Tees were created. The two towns merged and became known as the Hartlepools before dropping the "s". Former owner Sir Thomas Edward Watson Bart. was connected to the port of Newport for over 40 years and was High Sheriff of Monmouthshire in 1911. Reprint of the original work published in 1816 with a supplemental history to 1851 inclusive.

See Fauntleroy's entry in the Oxford DNB. Although accounts of his depravity are exaggerated, Fauntleroy led a dissolute life, and appropriated securities worth around £360,000. During his trial at the Old Bailey he called seventeen merchants and bankers to testify to his integrity, but his defence was unsuccessful, and he was hanged outside Newgate, before a crowd of 100,000. The present item is 1p, 4to. Bifolium, addressed on reverse of second leaf to 'Sir Cuthbert Sharp | &c &c', with endorsement. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn, with slight damage to inner edge of second leaf caused by removal from mount. With several folds. Written in a clear hand with a good bold signature. Reads: 'My Dear Sir Cuthbert | I have heard from you with every attention what you have proposed from the Assignees to me I will give it every consideration & shall hope in a few days to communicate with you upon the subject | I remain | Most faithfully Yrs | H Fauntleroy'. Sharp was presumably an assignee of an estate which had suffered as a result of Fauntleroy's forgeries.
