The Friary, Old Hartlepool

We went to Hartlepool, an old haunt of Mart's, and saw the rather lonely looking remains of what turns out to be a manor house built in 1605 on the site of a dissolved Franciscan Friary. Until the 1980's it was surrounded by St Hilda's Hospital. At least it is listed so cannot be knocked down... but it would be very nice to see the site renovated and made more of a tourist attraction.
