Heugh Gun Battery The Heugh (pronounced “yuff”) Battery is one of the most; if not the most important piece of modern archaeology we have in the North East of England. The Heugh Gun Battery is a Scheduled Monument whose importance lies in the fact that it was one of only two coastal batteries in Britain to engage enemy ships in World War 1. The Battery is owned by Hartlepool Borough Council and is currently on a 25 year lease to the Heugh Gun Battery Trust, a group of volunteers whose main objective is to restore the battery to the state it was in 1914. It stands as a testament to those who fought in both the First and Second World Wars. |
