Background Information:
The London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) operated an extensive network across the industrial north-east of England, handling vast tonnages of mineral and industrial freight across County Durham. Fencehouses was an essential hub for coordinating traffic from local collieries and National Coal Board divisions, connecting industrial sidings and sending regular wagonloads to industrial consignees such as the Steetley Lime Works at Coxhoe. Waybills like this were vital railway operational records used by guards and yard staff to regulate routing, wagon loads, and transit accounting.
