Also, where is the nearest train station to Murton.

If you mean today it is Sunderland, and then Durham. See http://www.nationalexpresseastcoast.com/Documents/PDFs/16880_Route_map.pdf

In 1914 the nearest railway station was Seaham Harbour.

Hi

Looking for anything on Murton I can recommend the heritage society they have hundreds of old photos from the village including lots of school groups it might be worth dropping them a line
