Blast Beach (Seaham)

The Seaham Iron Works in the 19th century had blast furnaces built in 1862. The slag from the furnaces often ended up on the nearby beaches and it was these furnaces that apparently gave their name to Blast Beach just to the south of Nose's Point Seaham.

County Durham.

An area of the beach was used to film the opening scenes of the third movie in the Alien series . The former coal-dumping site looked of another planet.
