Have you ever heard of cross-linking(domains)?
My view on linking to other domains in navigation is that it is seen by search engines as somewhere between grey and black hat tactics. You do seem to be using it in a good way, but I wouldn't use it at all.
Was it this way for the 7 or so year span that you were doing so well?

This website is all about the town named Hartlepool.
The problem i see with the navigation links is not so much having the links,but having links to domains
WITHOUT relevance. For instance even tho Sunderland is also a town in North East England it is a DIFFERENT town.
So really, in other words only links relating to Hartlepool would be relevant.
If the site was about "North East England Places" then there would be relevance. As we all know relevance along
with content is king.
