1911 census 3 Back North Durham Street, Sunderland

I wonder if anyone could help with finding who or what was at the above address in April 1911. I have birth (1910) and death (1911) certificates for my grandfather's half brother giving the above address. But in the 1911 census they were living somewhere else.

I have tried googling it and tried to find the address in the 1911 census with no luck. I wondered if it was a perhaps a hospital of some sort?

I would be very grateful for any help.

Thanks

Jean

I was hoping that maybe someone with local history knowledge of the area may know what the address was.

Thanks Chris will try that. The closest i have got so far is to find someone living at No 3 in 1891 when it seems to have been a house.

The house was listed as Bishopwearmouth rather than Sunderland.
