Fascinating.Eggs, as in Eggs Cliff could be a misspelling of Eccles - denoting a religious origin of the settlement. From the Norman French, I presume, as in ecclesiastical.
Eaglescliffe was perhaps a property developer's invention.Isn't there an eaglescliffe and an egglescliffe?
Parts of Hartlepool are there (Owton, Stranton, Brierton etc), but no mention of Hartlepool.The National Library of Scotland has a great resource for old maps.

A lot of places south of the Tees end in 'by'. Assume that means village, or something, in ye olde Teesside talk, like?
It's Danish, meaning a farmstead, a lot of the names are holdovers from when the Danish and Norse invaded Britain in the 800s.
A new Anglo Saxon village is established beneath Odensbury. It becomes known as Newton under Odensbury. Someone, somewhere hears this wrong and takes the R from Under and it becomes Rodensbury which still doesnt sound very English but then again it looks quite like Roseberry and so the name has evolved. Not sure just when and how Topping came about but it helped describe the landmark.
Sorry that was just where I took a quick screen grab of the Tees area and cut off "Hartlepoole"Parts of Hartlepool are there (Owton, Stranton, Brierton etc), but no mention of Hartlepool.

Didn't Eaglescliffe come about because when then built the station near Egglescliffe they spelt it wrong and the area around it started being called that - or is that a myth?Would love to live in eggs cliff
