Seaham, formerly Seaham Harbour, is a small town in County Durham, situated six miles to the south of Sunderland and 13 miles east of Durham City. It has a small parish church, St Mary the Virgin, with a late 7th century Anglo Saxon nave resembling the church at Escomb in many respects. St Mary the Virgin is regarded as one of the 20 oldest surviving churches in the UK. Seaham is currently twinned with the German town, Gerlingen. Seaham grew in the 1920’s when the main collieries opened but by the 1990’s, a number of mine-related deaths finally caused the last of the collieries to be closed, a process which caused irreparable damage to the local economy, from which it has struggled to recover. During the early part of this century however, Seaham was completely regenerated. Offering some of the best beaches in the country.
