Post by: Boxer on Saturday 25 February 12 09:57 GMT (UK)
Does anyone  have any information about Claude House, Easington. It was used as a  home for teachers during the 1911 census. It was at the top of Claude Street.
any information would be great. Thank you.

Boxer, the Local Studies library nearest there should be able to send you info and maybe even a pic.

It is actually Claude Terrace/Street, East Murton, not Easington, Maude House is just a terraced house with 6 rooms  see http://g.co/maps/v3eay Claude House is  the corner house.
You can see Claude Terrace at http://www.old-maps.co.uk/maps.html?coords=439590,547315 on the 1920 map near the school.
In the 1914 Durham Directory George Greenwell, school attendance officer, is living at Wyngate House, which is 1 Claude St., Murton.

If you go to http://gis.durham.gov.uk/website/interMAP/viewer.htm and enter the coordinates 439552, 547315 in to search it will centre the map on 6 Claude Terrace, Murton

The house before Claude House, No.5, is Winchester House, the one with the name plate on the wall. So you have got a photograph of Claude House  :)
Just to add that 4 Claude Street is Schedule 338, then No. 5 "Family Removed", then Claude House is Schedule 339.
