In the 1860s, my great, great-grandfather was a coal agent working for the Londonderry mines at Seaham and he and his family lived in the 2nd house from the right. At that time there were only two houses, those on the left being built subsequently. The slightly different brick colour can still be discerned. Tempest Road was then Tempest Place.
