Originally three shops, numbers 57 to 59 Church Street were a pawnbrokers, wardrobe dealer, and chemist and dentist during the 1890s. Following the turn of the century they went on to become a milliners – hat makers – confectioners and drapers. Then for almost 60 years, from 1923 to 1981, two of the shops were home to Doggarts family run department store, which sold furniture, clothes and fine hats with feathers. In 2013 after a £1.2m conversion the premises became a Wetherspoon pub. https://cannybrew.com/media/photo-galleries/weatherspoons-turn-former-seaham-seaside-department-store-into-latest-pub-gallery/ Image
