From the Wikipedia article
West Hartlepool Lifeboat Station consisted of two lifeboat stations, located near to the harbour town of Hartlepool, in County Durham. A lifeboat was first stationed to the south of the town in 1847 by the Hartlepool Dock and Railway Company at Stranton Beach, In 1854, a second lifeboat was placed near the Harbour Masters Office at Hartlepool Docks.

The No.1 station was closed in 1894, leaving the No.2 station as the primary station, until it too was closed in 1906.
