There are some photos here http://communities.northumberland.gov.uk/Seaton%20Delaval.htm (menu on left-hand side of page).

Have you tried a straightforward google for images? I'm sure this would bring up quite a few.

Also try Keys to the Past

Yes i would like to see some photos of Foremans Row as well,i had 5 families living in that street at one time or another,all the men working at Seaton Delaval Colliery which was only a short distance by a footpath across the fields at the back of the Row.(The public footpath is still there).Come on you Seaton Delaval folk,have a rummage through the attic or grandads old photos and see what you can find. ;D

New Hartley and Seaton have their own community website,
I posted on there and received information and a photo via the internet of the house my ancestors lived in, I think I found the site via Genuki,

Have you seen the Seaton Delaval Village website at www.seatondelaval.org.uk which has quite a few old photos, including at least one of Foremans Row? Just go to the 'Our History' section and then to 'Photographs'.

Thanks both for your kind comments. I update whenever possible and am always on the look out for new stuff. Feel free to comment if you can add any information to the photos as this all adds to the local history of our area.

An excellent collection Billy - thanks  :)
I specially like the photos and paintings of Seaton Sluice, where I spent much of my childhood and youth.
