Changes

'''Seaham''', [[County Durham]], also known as Seaham Harbour,<ref>[http://www.durhamrecordsonline.com/literature/dawdon.php The new town and port of Seaham Harbour was founded in 1828]</ref> is a port town on the north-east coast of [[England]], located midway between the estuaries of the [[River Tyne]] and [[River Tees]]. The town was founded in 1828 by the 3rd Marquess of Londonderry, who wished to build a harbour for the export of coal from his mines in County Durham; the first coal was exported from Seaham in 1831. The new town was situated a mile south of the old village of Seaham. As well as being a centre for coal export, Seaham also had coal mines and glassworks, and was the centre of the Londonderry Railway, the largest privately-owned railway in Britain in the late 19th century, which served the Londonderry coal mines in east Durham. Seaham Hall in the old village belonged to the Milbanke family; here, in 1815, the poet [[Lord Byron]] married Anne Milbanke. It is now a spa hotel.
