Rock House, Tempest Road, Seaham
Built in the mid-19th century, Rock House became a community centre in 1931. It doesn't appear to be listed and the site was recently offered for sale at £160,000. The house now appears to be in very poor condition.

On the route of the Seaham railway incline
The incline carried coal wagons down to Seaham Harbour. It was 'self-acting' in that wagons laden with coal would run down the incline, pulling empty ones to the top by means of ropes and pulleys. Very sad to see it as it is now, just an overgrown footpath.
