Hartley is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Seaton Valley in Northumberland, England. The village lies on the A193 road 4 miles (6 km) south of Blyth and 4 miles (6 km) north of Tynemouth. It was a farming and later colliery village but today is part of Seaton Sluice. However it has given its name to the ward of Hartley which covers Seaton Sluice and New Hartley. The population of this ward at the 2011 Census was 4,923.[1] Hartley is sometimes called Old Hartley to distinguish it from New Hartley.
