"THE HAMLET BY THE SEA" was written by AYLMER FIELD in 1906 and appeared in the SEAHAM WEEKLY NEWS that same year.
In this well written and informative account the author contrasts the 'contemporary ' Seaham of 1906 with the Seaham of the past.
Reading it today we can add another hundred years to the story of Seaham and will find it a fascinating piece of history
The SFHG has developed an archive of more
than 3,500 photographs of people and places in Seaham. These can be
viewed by visiting the SFHG Resource Centre in the Library when the
Group is holding it's weekly meeting. If you have any interesting
photographs which you would like to record in the history of Seaham
or to assist family history researchers please bring them along to
Linda. All photographs of the past help to build a social history of the Town in which our ancestors lived and worked. Durham County Council hold old photographs of Seaham and surrounding areas in their "People Past and Present' archive People Past and Present weblink |
