Another strange street in Durham’s region (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

northeast

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'durham's region' is the definition.
'Northeast' can be an answer for 'region' (Northeast is an example). I'm unsure of the 'durham's' bit.

'another strange street' is the wordplay.
'strange' indicates an anagram.
'street' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'another' is an anagram of 'northea'.
'northea'+'st'='NORTHEAST'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for northeast that I've seen before include "Bearing of forty-five degrees" , "No threats (anag.)" , "Bearing of 45 degrees" , "Belfast is located here" , "Compass point at 45 degrees" .)
