Nobby, Max the Crazy, Ex Seaham or whatever else you want to call
yourself, I feel sorry for the person you assume this is. I can only guess
that you were a bully in school and you are now trying to get your bullying
frustrations out on this web site. Why don't you go to a chat room where
people like you are a "dime a dozen." Since you OBVIOUSLY don't have a
dictionary, a "dime" is one tenth of a dollar (a currency commonly used
in the US).

This is for the one that is unsure as to what I mean by "civil".
If you have a dictionary at your disposal, please review the word. It
means - POLITE, PROPER, CIVILIZED OR BEFITTING A CITITZEN. Are we now clear
on the difinition of "CIVIL"? Also I did not forget to identify myself,
it was intenional and that is my right as an INDIVIDUAL!!!

Just putting your cliche-ridden narrative to one side for a moment,
I for one am a little unsure as to what exactly you mean by "civil." Do
you mean as in individual? In which case why are you allowed rights that
you are apparently suggesting others should be denied? I can't say I agree
with much of the comment here, but I will certainly defend the right of those
making them.The trouble with firing a verbal shotgun is you are likely to
claim hits on more than you intended.You demean your own comment by the way
when you forget to identify yourself. Max The Crazy at least uses one of
his many aliases.He may appear to be a nutter, but he's an ingenuous nutter!

Who's this that's doing a poor impressionation of me? He gives himself
away by his misspelling of the name of the divine one MADHEED. On the other
hand it's true that I did visit England/Seaham/The Mill Inn in hope of
meeting his MADHEEDness. Shocked was I to find no LCL, No Red Seats of Home
and no MADHEED! The situation was made worse by the startled incomprehension
of the bar staff who, under questioning, all hid in the cellar. The sign
saying "No Drugs" WAS a disappointment. How did they manage to run out of
stock during the holiday season? Seaham's not what it was! One small point
- who nicked the off sales hatch? I fancied a bag of crisps!

Ex Seaham - if you feel so much disdain for Seaham and its residents
then why do you visit this site so much? Is your life outside of Seaham
so empty that you've nothing else to do, except surf, and put other people
down in attempt to make yourself feel better? You may (or may not) have
left Seaham, but have you seem to exhibit all the self loathing of a wolf
in sheep's clothing. Instead of calling other Seahamites knobheads why don't
you just get a life of your own? Go on, lead us by your example, oh sucessful
one.

Nobby, Have you not realised that all the bright people left Seaham
and as a result of the inbreeding between the thickies that got left behind
the gene pool has regressed so that all the people born since 1970 are plain
stupid? You only have to read their messages to see this.

Susan Seaton, treat your visit to Seaham like a visit to Bosnia
or Beirut during the worst of their troubles. There is no best place to stay
in Seaham. Stay in Durham City or take your caravan to Finchale Priory just
outside Durham. If you can, hire a native guide to help you find the local
must see sights ( err OK there are none once you've seen the Harbour ) and
interpret the devilishy difficult local dialect. It's amazing how a seemingly
random series of monosyllabic grunts can contain so much meaning. Go and
see MADHEED and his chums supping their LCL at The Mill ( keep the motor
running ) and make a quick getaway to a place that has more than 10% of the
adult population in work.

however I am having trouble finding any information from our family members
who are still alive, who might remember anything. My grandmother was

and Julia Cox (ne: Julia Parsons or Parkins) If anyone has any info on
this family past, please drop me a line at sseaton@rockyview.ab.ca I
am planning the trip for my moms 60th birthday, and would also love some
ideas about site seeing, places to visit etc... Any suggestions on lodging

Hopes for 2001:- The Bus Station is demolished and the cretin
who allowed it to be built originally, is standing in it when it goes down.
Easington District Council (does it really exist or are all those orange
vehicles just a perk for the chosen few to collect their giros?) does something
to keep St. Johns churchyard footpaths clear of vomit, dog crap and mindless
graffiti, its disgusting, never mind for visitors, what about those of us
who live and work AND PAY COUNCIL TAX. This also applies to the precinct,
then again why not just flatten it and start from scratch, folks from Peterlee
must think we are puddled when you see what they have for facilities.
How about a team of security guards for Seaham Library so you actually feel
safe using it after sunset!!!!! the lasses in there should be getting danger
money. The banning of women wearing leggings and shell suits, WHY do these
people think the bigger they are the tighter the leggings and more colourful
should be? One of these offenders bent down infront of me in Herons and I
lost 4 minutes of daylight before she stood up again. Anyway, thats
my hopes for 2001, whats everyone else got to ssay, and please, next time
you answer your mobile phone in Quick Save as you adjust the gusset on your
skintight leggings whilst shouting at the top of your voice, please rest
assured that those of us who dont reside in the gutter are thinking YOU SAD

Quite some time since I visited the Guest Book and nice to see a
lot of old names that I recognise, especially those of the teachers from
the old SGTS, (unfortunately becoming the Seaham Comp in early 70's). I
started SGTS in 1965 with contempories such as Alf Shields, Alan Guy, Trevor
Lee, Steve Lindsay, Stewart Grieve, Eddie Curtis, Richard Hughes, Iany Bell,
Ritchie Knox, Margaret Ritchie, Linda Legge,Ann Purcell, Joy Oliver, Dot
Hampton, Naomi Readman and so forth and so on, I could continue all night,
and thankfully, some of whom I still keep in touch with (Linda, I promise
I'll e-mail you shortly!!). In those days, teachers really were scary
and I well remember Johnny Redhead, David Garrett, Alan Westmorland, Dicky
Goodliffe, Alan (Chain) Johnson, Ken Foulds, "Sinbad" Cummings and of course,
the "Jeg" himself, David Martin, the headmaster (remember when he fell off
the stage one morning at the start of assembly?). Then we get onto the
really scary set, which for some reason were all female, Miss Ferguson, Miss
Wake, Miss Robison (Nana),Miss Stokoe, all of whom could quite easily have
given Lennox Lewis a reasonable run for his money or feature in the current
All-Blacks side. The glamour at the time, if I recall correctly, was provided
by Miss Pickering, Gill Manders,Wendy Westmorland, Yvette Martin, Pat Forrester,
(whose husband Dick was also a teacher there)Mrs Offer and a lady by the
name of Miss Beaney who, I think taught drama and who most of us lads had
the hots for. The comedy and light entertainment was provided by Mr Pye
(naturally), Ken Ure, Mr Coates, Mr McKeag (whose brother was a director
of NUFC, thereby automatically condemning the entire family to immediate
execution), Tommy Oliver (RAF hero of the second world war and metalwork
teacher extrordinaire) and a small, be-spectacled guy (Mr Sugarman??) who
I think taught French or RK, and always wore light coloured suits which were
a natural target for Noel Cowley's fountain pen ink blots down the back of
his jacket. Obviously there were some other characters who could not easily
be pigeon-holed like Derek Shute (had gallons of Brut on draught, and I don't
mean the champagne, smelled like a hower's handbag), Jack Thompson (bit of
a lad, mind you, on the quiet),Eden Buckham, Mr Bell, Mr Atkinson and so
on. All happy days and memories, even more so since it is well over 25
years since we all left school and I don't think teachers, characters, like
that exist any more. I'd love to hear from anyone else who has any memories
from that era, or who remembers either me, or any of the reprobates that
we went to school with. Compliments of the season to all back home in
Seaham, wherever you live now.

To Brian of Oz;I was at the SMS 1951-55 and don't recall any teacher
by the name of Tarzan, nor the incident described.I might have recalled
it, because I was a candidate for being thumped on a regular basis by all
of the teachers at one time or another, including one spectacular occasion
by the Head of St'Josephs's next door.My fame had obviously spread over
the wall. Ed, I would tend to ignore the protestations of the Mad one as
being just that. If he has a genuine complaint and fails to make use of
the means available to him, through you, then he's either too thick or someone
who simply likes to moan a lot.Given his semi-literate rantings,I'm inclined
to the former.

What wonderful memories the recent comments about Northlea School
have rekindled, Miss Robisons smartie parties were as infamous as her stutter
and her ability to talk very quietly to you, just before she lost her rag,
2 inches from your ear. Surely the most stunning teacher was Mrs Manders,
Seahams answer to Sophia Loren, totally glamorous and never a raised voiced,
while she regaled the class with her stories of air travel during the days
of luxury in the skies, pre-charter-flights. Miss Wake would always be
standing by, ready to whip your recently purchased cold drink from the machine
which hardly ever worked, no need for words, just "the look." And as you
stood at the drinks machine Marion Kenworthy would pass by, tip tap tip
on her heels heading back to the cookery rooms where the smell of freshly
burnt rock buns signalled the completion of year 1`s first attempt at cooking.
The cookery department wasnt short of glamour either, and Eileen Hall, dripping
in jewellery and nail varnish would be in the middle cookery room, whilst
Mrs Musgrave ("lets get this roly poly on the table") was located towards
the business studies and language labs end. To many pupils, Mrs Westmorelands
sister, Nancy Haugstad had a personality that would freeze water, which
was unfortunate, for in reality she was "a lady" whose talents were not
only obvious in the subject which she taught but also the motivation that
she instilled in those who were lucky enough to have her as a form and subject
teacher. I always remembered Linda Balmer as a French teacher and the un-forgetable
afternoon when she wasted 10 metres of Sticky-backed-plastic, trying to
cover a poster of French foods, Mr Taylor also took French, thats if he
hadnt fallen asleep in his study. The high spot of the week for many was
social studies with Trevor Lowther, where he would sit on his desk and continually
thread his wedding ring onto his leather watchstrap. I also remember Mr
Colby, he was a very quiet man, and, whilst he wasnt really up to the rigors
of comprehensive teaching, I cant see anything to be proud of, in admitting
to taking part in the ridicule and assault of someone who was obviously
troubled with nerves. Those who boast about such actions should think on,
that what goes around, comes around also. The atmosphere of the school changed
completely with the arrival of Mr Telford, aloof, remote and unlike Mr Miles,
he took no part in teaching throughout the school, as the likes of Theo
Ferguson and Miss Wake retired, discipline and respect for the teaching
staff began to wane and a very noticeable increase in short term staff was
noted. We lost the posh kids from Cleadon and Whitburn and the final insult
came with the demise of the sixth-form facility, transferred to the cultural
mecca of East Durham, Peterlee, not however, before its rumoured that the
whole sixth-form was laid low by a giant chocolate cake laced with laxative
icing!! or was that an urban myth? Does anyone else have memories, fond
or otherwise of this once great school. P.S. If we had worn our ties in
a huge knot as is todays fashion Mrs Tait would have had our guts.

Message for Mad Max(alias Anon). Seaham Town Council considered the
road safety issue at George Street at the recent Planning Committee. The
responsibility is with Durham County Council. Barriers will be erected
after Christmas. Please note that you ignored my request for information
about local incidents and people to talk to. Why not Max? It was a reasonable
request and could have saved me time. Time for which I am not paid by the
way. Maybe you ought to review your reasons for insisting on your anonymity.
If you have something worthwhile to say you don't need it.

I left Seaham Northlea in 1981. There were some good teachers in my
time- Mr Goodliffe (Maths) was easily the best. One or two others stick
in the memory for other reasons. Mrs Balmer was allegedly an English teacher,
Miss Robison for her ledgendary Smartie Parties, Madame Morden the French
teacher from Rumania who couldn’t speak English and the impossibly sexy
Mrs Westmorland. Like an earlier correspondent I also had my name spelled
out on my backside by Mr Redhead’s rounders bat but managed to avoid Mr
’Steve’ McGarratt’s slipper- lovingly named ’Sam’ and Mr Weetman’s terrifying
plank.

We have recently traced our family of LYNNs back to Seaham, starting
at (what is now) Dawden Hill Farm in 1841, through to the late 1890's.
Are there any photos of the farm from 19th or 20th centuries? Back in the
1870's Robert Lynn ran the Foresters Arms, 10 North Railway Street. Anyone
remember this pub before it was demolished in 1959 ... any photos of the
front? Anyone else have any connection with LYNNs still in the town that
may be related - I believe a related John Lynn was listed in Trade Directories
as a Cartage Contractor until at least 1938? Other families that intermarried
with the Lynns include REED, ALLISON, STONEHOUSE, CURRY, ROBSON, HASWELL,
WATSON, BAMB[O]ROUGH and VEALE. Visited Seaham (briefly) for the first time
a couple of weeks ago: felt very much at home ... and thanks to the helpful
staff in the library and Princess Road Cemetery. Karen, Bristol

So glad someone remembers the names of teachers, guess the girls never
saw the bad side of Mr Redhead, we thought he was cute. Miss Wake was amazing
it always puzzled us how she knew if the girls werent wearing uniform underwear.
She used to stand outside the doors to the hall and pull you out of the
line if you werent wearing the correct uniform. Mr Miles (Batman) used to
stand on the stage in his huge black cape and lecture us. I remember on
of the kids would cough and that would start everyone off, he used to get
so mad. In them days we were afraid of some of the teachers, these days
they are more like friends I dont think my kids have nearly the same respect
we had for our teachers (or was if fear). I remember going on strike at
school once the whole school stood outside and Mr Miles had to come out
and tell us to get back I think we lasted about 30 mins cant remember what
we were on strike for. Joan

I had forgotten about Mr. Pye, we never did much music with him never
could understand the poetry he gave us. Mr Johnson was my math teacher
and we always got him off the subject of math to anything we could think
of. All the girls thought Mr. Redhead the PE teacher was gorgeous. Mr.
Johnson always threatened to remove our nail polish with something out
of the chemistry lab. Our drama teacher was Miss Beaney very pretty lady.
We had a really ditsy english teacher but I cant remember her name. Anyone
remember Muriel Pearson, Murial Ayre, Carol Pascoe, Sandra Phillips, Janice
Cummings, Joan Elliott, Lorna Metcalf, Paul Rae, just to name a few from

Joan Wilkinson, I don't know that it was ever Seaham Grammar. The
school started life in 1964 I think as SGTS Seaham Grammar Technical School.
The name changed to SNSS Seaham Northlea Secondary School around 1971.
It was still that in 74 when I left. I was thinking about some of the teachers
there last week when I was talking to someone about performance related
pay for teachers. Here's a list of SGTS/SNSS teachers who would NOT have
deserved it. John Pye - Music Teacher, Jehovah Witness and complete nutter.
Ken? Shute - Music & Latin Teacher - I never stayed in his classes
long enough to learn anything. Alan "Chain" Johnson - Maths - "If there's
nine things I can't stand it's Ken Phelan". Sam the Slipper was familiar
with my arse on a regular basis. Miss Pickering - Art Teacher - Did she
never realise that when we dropped our pencils on the floor they always
rolled under her desk somehow? Miss Apps - Geography? French? - Every class
a riot. Mr Sugarman - French - I did see him in school once, honest. Mr
Redhead - PE - Spelled your name out on your backside with a flipper or
a sawn off cricket bat if you'd done something wrong. Why did he make us
play football on the field when there was six inches of snow? Also hosed
you down with really cold water as you left the swimming pool. Any chance
of putting in a claim for child abuse? Mr Race - French - Used to walk up
and down the class knuckling people on the head. Miss Robinson "Nana" -
Geography - Well actually she wasn't too bad, nice old bird. Anyone remember
any more? I was just thinking, how did I get an education with this lot?
I aint telling

I attended Northlea school around 1976, when did the school go from
Northlea Grammer to Northlea Comp? Is the SMS school still there and Camden
square? Havent been back to Seaham for a while. We had to wear a uniform
at Northlea, a lovely grey skirt, white shirt, blue/red/white tie and a
navy blazer, grey socks and black shoes, there was one teacher Mrs Wake
with her blood red lips never did see her smile!! Did the uniform go away
when the school wasnt a grammer school anymore? I dont remember the Headmasters
name but we used to call him Batman because he used to wear a black cape
I think he was german, I know he had an accent. Also Miss Ferguson she
was an English teacher - she was brilliant. Anyone who remembers any more
teachers it would be fun to hear about them (now that I have left school!).

What is Seaham Town Council coming to? My Mother recently passed away
and was buried in the top left side of Princess Road cemetary. My family
have since learned that the cemetary rules stink. We have been informed
that we are not allowed to have a surround for the grave,although the majority
of graves in other areas of the cemetary have them. This is due to the
fact that it is easier to ride straight over the top of our loved ones on
grass-cutters, and more cost effective, than it is to maintain around the
graves. If these rules exist due to lack of council money, less of our Council
Tax money should be spent on football pitches, cricket pitches, bowling
greens and the likes (which the majority of Council Tax payers are not allowed
to use anyway), and more should be used to maintain our cemetary to a higher
standard. If any councillor wishes to comment, please feel free, as we would
like to hear your views.

I think the bike club is a great idea. The less kids hanging
around the streets means the less chance of something happening to them.
I remember living in Seaham and we almost had a youth centre until a few
individuals messed it up, and it was cancelled. For all those on the page
who only want to see things fail, isnt there an alternative guest page
for you to chat on, leave this page for the do-gooders we want them. Good
luck with the club, I hope you get your donations, if I lived closer I
would donate a couple of bikes myself.

Hi I was wondering if anyone can help me, I'm trying to locate
a copy of a documentary made in Seaham in the early 70's. It was called
"Life under ground", it was filmed by Granada Television and the director
was called Mike Grigsby. If anyone out there has a copy or knows where
I can get one please get in touch. If Gillian is reading this in Sussex,
I hope the floods didn't effect you to much.I'll be in touch soon.

Bikes that they dont use anymore, as our club is growing, and we need more

absence from home(seaham), i was amazed to find some silly irrelevant
and dangerous roundabout at the bottom of station road by the old people's
home. More amazed at the 2 width restrictions on station road itself. judging
by the scrapes on them some cars obviously weren't lucky in getting through.
We had to brake sharpish. It's not exactly Piccadilly and to my mind just
increases the danger to pedestrians and other drivers alike. I guess someone's
job could be at risk if they don't keep slapping these things everywhere
you turn. And what a total waste of money to boot. A decent zebra crossing
would have been more effective. max

Forgot to mention I went to see "Billy Elliot" at the cinema last
night it was fantastic... Most of the scenes were shot in Easington, there
was also a good shot of the Dawdon Viaduct near the Green drive, and a
brief shot of the Dawdon Welfare inside and out.. Not sure about the boxing
ring scenes , does any one up there know where this was filmed,I suppose
it could have been a studio, but I seem to recognise the building. Let me
know!!! Any way for those of you out there who want to see Easington in
all it's glory, some nostalgic shots of Seaham during the miners strike
and a witty story line, then go see the film it's a really great .....

Seaham dock company in cahoots with the council have chosen to surround
it with warehouses!!!Now think of it.....trying to teach very young children
in the middle of a work site. The dust, the noise, the lack of light!!
Now I know it won't bother the council and the dock company that children
will have to be tought in this victorian environment, they think of little
else but profit. but please remember come voting time to show these shower

I Used to live in Seaham, Ash crescent, and would love to hear from
a friend I lost contact with in 1990, His name I remember was Les, he was
on his own looking after his two children, a boy then aged 10/11 and a
girl, Victoria aged 2/3. We used to chat while waiting outside Princess
rd Jnr School for our children. I often think about you and the children
and would love to know how you are all getting on.

That's better! The spelling's really coming along. Not sure about
this obsessive/ruminative feeling you have for the word 'original' though
I can understand your desire to make this the keystone of your life. I'm
sure that - given time - you'll get the re. Perhaps Josephine will light
a candle for you?

Given the adoption so many aliases (P Catching, C Cole, B Breed etc.)one
would think there might be some capability for an original thought among
them.Sadly, cretanism is alive and well.Poor fella has never had an original
thought in his life, hence hi s contributions here are a sort of defence
mechanism for failure.

street in Seaham Harbour many years ago, I then moved to Ash Crescent in
Parkside until resuced by my present husband in 1958 then moved to Billingham
unti finally emigrating to Western Australia in 1972. I have been back
for a visit a couple of times, the last about 4 years ago but I seem to
have lost touch with some of my past friends and thought the internet might
be a way to regain contact so is there anybody out there who re members
me ?

For James Bruce Reid who, with a handle like that must be a Scot,
I have part of the answer he seeks.(1)Australia will, without doubt,become
a Republic. The recent referendum failed to gain public approval because,
quite simply, they got the method of asking wrong! The result was confusion
and people essentially voted to stay as is. They will get it right eventually
however, and will become a Republic within 5-10 years, perhaps less.(2)
New Zealand will definately become a Republic, perhaps sooner than we think
and before Australia. If the will to do it is clear in NZ, then it will
be easier to achieve because NZ has one government, Oz has six State governments,
a federal government, and one territory. Why will they do it? Because thay
are grown ups no w, and not children of Mother England, and in fact haven't
been for years. There is also the matter of Perfidious Albion which took
everything both countries had to offer in two world wars then dumped them
in favour of Europe.

There are some stupid people on the net who try to make everyones

bored, and eventually they go away to try to annoy some other poor soul.
I wouldn't lower myself to mention any n ames and it would pay you all to
ignore the very presence of such a low life. This is still a good web site

Hello Antipodeans , Although not very political , I nevertheless have
a certain curiosity about motivation etc. and was wondering two things ,
viz.: - 1)Why Australia managed to convince itself that it was better off
with a redundant figurehead who lives thousands of miles away , and is impossible
to criticise without the instigator being regarded as "an unfeeling peasant"
, as head of state . Al l this , mind you , in tandem with the chastisement
of the elite in OZ by Paul Keating for its love of "gongs and Ks" and the
reciprocal affection shown to ANTZACs in various theatres of war (in common
with the British working man) and the rather sudden w ithdrawal of UK subsidies
, when Britain wished to enter into the "common market" , which is strangely
parallel with the treatment given to British fishermen when the UK governmewnt
generously "donated" a share in their fishing grounds to the citizenry of
mainland europe . 2)Whether the Kiwis will be equally puzzling if and when
the time comes . Please note that the above questions may be erroneous or
biased in content or emphasis and may bear no relation to the true state
of affairs under consideration . I may in fact be a raving idiot BUT this
does not mean that there is nece ssarily anything wrong with my sense of
smell . Yours very Sincerely , One Scotsman they did not Transport (with
delight or otherwise)

There can be little doubt that Madheed assumes multi-persona, though
probably not from Seaham.If he is it is likely to be one of the stupider
areas.He can still be read like a book however, albeit a short one with
many blank pages torn out in the toile t.He is impotent of course but fantasises
about a non-existant sex-life, in which the accessories include a wet-suit
complete with mask and flippers, and a well thumbed copy of Mayfair.His
vocabulary includes eighty-seven words for toilet but is otherwis e severely
limited and can only be understood by dogs.At the Mill, people buy him
drinks in the hope he will pass out.He's probably constipated, but loves
visiting the hospital for relief.Sad really!! Nobby <nobby@paradise.net.nz> - Saturday, August 26, 2000 at 01:05:46 (EDT)

guestbooks, in which case h e's a bit of a sadist. I was effectively brought
up in Seaham (Moved there at 6, moved away at 11, now 14) and loved every
minute of it. And if John Faulkner ever visits this guestbook, Hiya John!

We all need a little drivel in our lives, some people just don't know
that.They suffer from drivel deprivation which has an effect ( as with
Macafferty)similar to verbal diarrhoea, which results in the discharge of
large numbers of meaningless phrases purloined from another source. Nobby <nobby@paradise.net.nz> - Wednesday, August 09, 2000 at 04:35:25 (EDT)
Hands up all those who suspect that Mr Mccafferty might just have missed
the point. Hitler, hooliganism and graffiti! The man's a fool! Dr Pangloss - Tuesday, August 08, 2000 at 16:01:09 (CDT)
Surely you mean "read" this drivel, and not hear? I've watched it for
hours and haven't heard a thing. nobby <nobby@paradise.net.nz> - Tuesday, August 08, 2000 at 13:43:51 (CDT)
It may be tedious and it may be repetitious to hear the drivel written
in this guestbook by certain contributors who get excitement whenever their
childish pseudonyms are referred to but is this not the way of the world.
If it were not for the moronic thoughts of neanderthals like these, Hitler
would never had come to power, hooligans would not inhabit the football
stadiums, and grafitti would not decorate the country. Lets be fair. Who
needs Art, Music, Literature when we have the talented individuals that
allow us to partake in their deep and meaningful thoughts? steve <steve.mccafferty@bbsrc.ac.uk> Bristol, England - Tuesday, August 08, 2000 at 07:20:52 (CDT)
Looking for any relatives of Margaret Ann ANDREWS nee WRIGHT (My Mum)
who was born at Sunderland on 23.2.1914. She was the daughter of Henry
George WRIGHT and Elizabeth BAXTER and moved with family to Seaham when
a small child. She moved to London when quite young and has lost touch with
her family who we know are still in the Seaham area. We would love to hear
from anyone with information. Jacqueline ANDREWS <dick@corlett44.freeserve.co.uk> Worthing, West Sussex UK - Monday, August 07, 2000 at 15:20:53 (CDT)
Hi all, Greetings from South Africa. I will be over in England in mid-August.
My gran was born in Seaham Harbour and I am trying to find out if the places
she remembers are still around. I am hoping to visit them and bring back
some wonderful memories for her. P lease can you tell me if Aline Street
still exists, if it is still residential, and also if St. Johns Church
is still around. Your help will be greatly appreciated. I will be in England
from 17/8/00. Kind Regards Tracy Botha Johannesburg, South Africa Tracy Botha <
