Seaham<\/a> is not the most attractive place on the North-East coast, but it does have some nice parts (provided you stick to the north of the docks). The first harbour at Seaham was built in 1828 by\u00a0the Marquess of\u00a0Londonderry<\/a> to rival nearby Sunderland.\u00a0The current harbour was built in 1905 to cope with the volume of trade, particularly coal from the area – Seaham itself had three pits by 1928 (all were\u00a0closed\u00a0by 1992).<\/p>\n
