Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Blast Beach at Nose's Point Blast Beach is possibly named after the blast furnaces of Seaham Iron Works that were built on Nose's Point in 1862. They were marked as disused on the 1899 large scale OS map but industry soon returned with Dawdon Colliery opening in 1907.
Another possible origin of the name is that ships would empty their ballast here before loading cargoes of iron and coal at Seaham. |
