This was the Council plan for Seaton in 1954. Some things did happen some didn't. The planned park did happen although the cinema on the end of Station Lane and the Front did not.
Car parking is a bone of contention of course at Seaton today and the large planned car park did not happen, another residential development in the place of this.

Location
Seaton Carew, a coastal village to the south-east of Stranton, was a fashionable 18th century holiday destination for Quakers from Darlington. By 1840 it was still a small village, but was attracting wealthy citizens from the surrounding area to make their homes there. It is now undergoing a process of rennovation.
