The Duke of Seaham
The internals of this public house seem to have been gutted and the building is beginning to look a little forlorn. It is my understanding that this was previously known as the Duke of Wellington. It was so named after the Duke of Wellington himself visited the Londonderry's at there family seat in Seaham Hall around 1827. It is on South Railway Street.
