Hartlepool Headland

  • Description

    "This monument on Hartlepool Headland commemorates the possibly apocryphal tale which is by turns a source of pride or embarrassment to Hartlepudlians. It concerns a monkey washed overboard from a ship in the time of the Napoleonic wars. As the monkey was unable to give a good account of itself in any intelligible manner, the worthy citizens of Hartlepool hanged him as a spy. http://www.rjh.f2s.com/monkey/index.htm" Photo by Oliver Dixon, 2007.
