The old industrial North East, Seaham ? 1966
This view captures two of the classic features of the mining area of north east England. A former North Eastern Railway (BR Class Q6) hauls a load of coal hoppers from Seaham Colliery up to the main line, from which the view is taken. In the foreground is an area of allotment 'gardens', characterised more by the abundance of pigeon lofts than the growing of vegetables, although the occasional greenhouse is visible.
Remarkably, the railway line has survived the death of the mining industry, and serves a waste recycling centre. The allotments too survive, with the likelihood that some of the lofts are the ones visible in this view.
