Opened in 1855 as Seaham by the Londonderry Seaham & Sunderland Railway, this station was renamed Seaham Harbour in 1925 but closed in 1939 and was later demolished. View north west across the former forecourt towards the single platform. The area has been mostly redeveloped. The wooden fence appears to follow the alignment of the back of the platform, so the platform was to the left of it. The two trees on the right appear to be where the single storey station building was, with the station hotel just beyond it. Some old bricks at the base of the fence may be the only evidence of the site's previous use.
