Sherburn Hospital, Sherburn House, Durham
Founded as "Christ's Hospital at Sherburn", the building stands in a secluded valley near Durham. The hamlet in which it is located is known as Sherburn House. It must surely have taken its name from that ancient foundation by Bishop Pudsey, who founded the original buildings for the recuperation of lepers about the year 1181-84. Originally, it housed 65 "poor brethren or lepers" and was reorganised by Bishop Langley in 1429, who reduced the number of residents to just fifteen.
The building is now a care home administered by the Sherburn House Charity and its various buildings have a chequered history. For more see http://www.durhamtimes.co.uk/history/pasttimes/4241286.Leper_hospital_was_prominent_site_in_village/ .

Sherburn House railway station (site), County Durham
Opened in 1893 by the North Eastern Railway on the line from Sunderland to Durham (Elvet), this station (in a shallow cutting to the right of the house) replaced an earlier 1837 station on the line to Shincliffe (probably to the left of the house but early maps are unclear). In turn, this station closed to passengers in 1931 and completely in 1954.
View south west from what is now the A181, towards Durham. The single platform of the 1893 station appears to have been covered over by landscaping.
