Seaham Northumberland - Sea Glass Beach
By: Andrew Reade
Seaham, a small town in County Durham, England, is home to a unique sea glass beach that has transformed from an industrial waste site into a beautiful natural attraction.
The beach's origins trace back to the Victorian era when the Londonderry Bottle-works disposed of glass waste into the sea. Over a century, the North Sea's waves smoothed and polished this glass, creating a colourful array of sea glass pieces along the shoreline.
