Seaham Harbour Crewneck Sweatshirts

The old Chemical Beach located at Seaham Harbour on the North East Coast of England. Once a thriving mining and chemical industry used the sea as a dumping ground for waste products. The landscape on the seashore was altered giving an almost alien appearance - and has been used for movie scenes in the film Alien. The colouring with the full moon has been used to enhance the otherworldly image.

The marina at Seaham Harbour was once home to a multitude of local fishing vehicles, landing their catch daily and selling it along the dockside. Over the years, as fishing declined, the docks and harbour changed. Now with new marina gates protecting the leisure craft, the marina is home to local boat owners. The area now includes busy cafes and shops, along with the Lifeboat Heritage Centre. Here the image show dawn breaking over the marina.

The coastal town of Seaham Harbour is in County Durham on the north east coast of England. Once a very busy port exporting coal from the numerous mines in the area and chemicals and glass from the chemical works, it is now a much quieter area. A search of the beaches in the area still show the history of the area, with old wagon tracks and uprights visible on the less frequented beaches. Here a set of old wagon wheels sit in the sea, only visible a low tides......they stand proud against the sea, with Seaham pier and lighthouse in the background, a reminder of the history of the area.

The Slope Beach and Pier at Seaham Harbour. The slope is a sheltered sandy beach located between two piers at the harbour entrance. It was once an area where families visited and children learned to swim. Following refurbishment of the North Pier and the marina, it now attracts more visitors. The sunrises at low tide give some great images, as do the winter waves that pound the pier.

A surprisingly unnamed magnesian limestone sea stack on the Durham coast. The beach on which it sits, south of Seaham, is named after the Seaham Chemical Works which occupied the immediate cliff top for a short time. It was established in the 1860s, by the 1890s it had gone. But Chemical Beach continued to be abused. The sand was extensively removed by the Seaham and Londonderry Bottle Works to make glass and coal waste from the Dawdon Pit was dumped into the sea. The beach and cliff top have been cleaned up. Natural is recovering. The magnesian limestone provides a rare habitat for flora and butterflies and is under the protection of the National Trust.
