Hartlepool Monkey
Quote:
Well it was in the North East of England and there was a war on with France at the time so could it have been based on truth, or was it just a funny story to tell the grandkids on a cold winters night.? I still find it hard to believe the story but as the education level at that time was pretty basic compared to todays standards could it have been based on what's termed now as fake news. Surely the locals couldn't have mistaken a monkey for a human, or could they?

I don't live too far from Hartlepool and count a few of the inhabitants as friends. Believe you me, whether the story is true or not, even to this day few of them appreciate being referred to as 'monkey hangers'
