By an unknown artist, previously attributed to John Wilson Carmichael (1799–1868), bearing a partial name and date: W. Carmichael, 1843 (?), bottom left. The picture shows the town wall, with the Sandwell Gate, which leads out on to the Fish Sands, and cobles drawn up on Fish Sands. The pier to the right with the beacon on it is known as the Pilot Pier. The large church with flying buttresses is St Hilda’s. The projecting land at the left is probably a part of Hartlepool known as Middleton and the masts in the background are those of ships moored up in the Victoria Dock.
