Seaton Valley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Seaton Valley was an urban district in Northumberland, England, from 1935 to 1974, when it was split between the districts of North Tyneside and Blyth Valley. [1]

It was created by a County Review Order in 1935 from various urban districts near the North Sea coast, particularly Cramlington, most of Earsdon, Seaton Delaval, and Seghill. Under the Local Government Act 1972 it was abolished on April 1, 1974, with the wards of Backworth, Earsdon and Shiremoor going to the borough of North Tyneside in Tyne and Wear, and the rest going to Blyth Valley in Northumberland.
