Seaham
town and civil parish in County Durham, England
England · 54.8400, -1.3400
Seaham is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia articles of 3 productions, in the section each entry below links back to. No Wikidata filming statement points here yet, so this page says plainly which kind of evidence it rests on.
1 production was filmed at 1 place inside Seaham rather than at Seaham itself: listed below, each with the place it was shot.
“Other filming locations include the Green Drive Railway Viaduct in Seaham, Tees Transporter Bridge, New Wardour Castle and Theatre Royal in Haymarket.”
Filmed here, per Wikipedia
Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Seaham as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, and labelled as what it is, each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.
Movies and TV series filmed elsewhere in Seaham
1 production shot at 1 place inside Seaham, each named beside it. Separate from the list above, which is what Wikidata records against Seaham itself.
Named here by Seaham’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Seaham, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.
