The Book

The History of Hartlepool

View more presentations from Claire Armitage.

This is my book I have created for my final assignment. The book is about Hartlepools history from 1800 to 2000. The images in my book have been taken by me and I have manipulated them to make them look old or that they have been drawn, this goes with my book because in the 1800's they had to draw and write all of information them selfs. I done all of my own research for the book and I have learnt alot while making my book. I also created the page numbers by my self which is a hung monkey and the number (People from Hartlepool are known as monkey hangers).
