\"Hartlepool<\/a><\/p>\n

There was a sound mirror at Hartlepool, but unfortunately it has been demolished.<\/p>\n

The Historic England listing<\/a> for the Boulby sound mirror<\/a> says the Hartlepool one was “located at High Springwell 17km away [from Boulby] to the north of the estuary and was orientated to cover the north eastern approaches” and “was demolished in the 1960s.”<\/p>\n

There is a reference to this Hartlepool sound mirror<\/a> on the Hartlepool Mail<\/cite> website dated 20 June 2007. Hartlepool resident JW Perrin mentions a sound mirror or “Zeppelin Listening Post” in the Clavering area, and asks for more details. Perrin says the mirror was constructed in or about 1916, which would make it a contemporary of the Redcar<\/a> structure. A sketch accompanying the text shows a mirror with the same design as the ones at Boulby<\/a> and Redcar. It was “demolished possibly in the early Sixties when the new housing development commenced”.\n<\/p>\n

\nPerrin says the Hartlepool mirror “played an important part in the Air Defence of the North-East Region in World War One, including the shooting-down of the Zeppelin over Teesmouth on November 27, 1916”. This was L34 (LZ.78), shot down by 2nd Lieutenant Ian Pyott<\/a> flying BE2c aircraft number 2738.
