Nostalgic memories of Seaton Burn's local history

Share your own memories of Seaton Burn and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

Hi, my name is Margaret Thomas and before I was married I was Irving. I was brought up by my grandparents, Norman and Rosie Turnbull. They lived at number 2 Office Houses, which were pit houses. One of my memories was playing in the pit yard with friends and family, as this was my backyard. I did have good memories as well as some not so good.
