Vane Terrace and St Mary Magdalene School

Vane Terrace with the site of the former Weslyan Methodist Chapel on the left. Over the road was the Catholic St Mary Magdalene's School with two entrances on Vane Terrace - one for the boys and one for the girls. To the left of the Catholic school was Jobling House and then the Co-op store. To the right was Seaham Police Station and Magistrates Court built in 1861.
