The Clock Garden is home to a number of memorials, including, on the right, one to the crew of HMS Seaham Image The bronze plaque in the foreground shows the plans drawn up for Seaham by the architect John Dobson for local developer Charles Stewart, the 3rd Marquess of Londonderry. Shortage of money after developing the harbour and railway connection meant that only a few of the elaborate buildings in this area of the town could actually be built. Image The clock in the background was erected to celebrate the millennium. Image
