History of Seaham - Stories and remarkable and memorable events in the history of Seaham Pubs and Clubs of Seaham Seaham Labour Club (formerly British Legion Club) in Malvern Crescent (1950)
At New Seaham a drill shed was built by the Home Guard on the site of the bombed-out Seaham Colliery Inn. After the War this drill shed was dismantled and rebuilt at the bottom of the “Black Road/Malvern Crescent and opened as The New Seaham British Legion Club. It was later renamed "The Labour Club."
This brick constructed Club was built to replace the original wooden and corrugated iron drill shed. This new club was engulfed by fire and burnt down in April 1998.
The wooden bridge at the bottom of the Black Road was built over the railway lines between Malvern Crescent and Station Road. The old Labour Club stood approximately behind where the photographer stood to take this photograph.
