To me it looks like -
"North west of the Lemonow and Ore District 10 miles"

Maybe posting more information about what the document is and its context would help?

Yes, I agree, but it would be good to know where the "Lemonow" district might be, Fran

There is a River Ure in North Yorkshire - so maybe it is Ure and not Ore.

The last line is the exact position of a fishing boat that was at sea on the night of the 1871 census, as the boat was from Hull, I'm assuming that it is somewhere in the North Sea.

In 1859, 1882 and 1897 there are newspaper reports of a ship wreck on the Lemonower or Lemon-ower Sand.  They don't explain the location, but in some instances survivors were taken to Yarmouth.  Looking online, I wonder whether the area referred to in the census was Leman Bank and Ower Bank, which can be seen on this modern chart, north east of Cromer and Happisburgh:

It's a bit of a leap from Lemonow and Ore District, I know.  Perhaps something was lost in translation when the census was completed back in port.  I haven't spotted any other possibilities.

dist 10 miles will mean 'distant 10 miles' i.e. 10 miles away from there.

Thank you all for your help, it certainly looks like it is off the coast of Norfolk.  :)
