'''Seaham''', [[County Durham]], also known as Seaham Harbour,<ref>The new town and port of Seaham Harbour was founded in 1828. [http://www.durhamrecordsonline.com/literature/dawdon.php] </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. Seaham Hall in the village belonged to the Milbanke family; here, in 1815, the poet [[Lord Byron]] married Anne Milbanke.
