Sums up everything about Northern Rail at the moment. I grabbed this shot from the Hull to Scarborough train at Cottingham. The train subsequently failed at Bridlington which resulted in my getting home nearly three hours late after the "journey from hell". Thanks Northern.

I suppose this could be called a waybill, although it does not list the consignor(s) or consignee(s) of the goods. It was used to give details of the cargo for use in charging toll by the Canal Company. On November 3rd 1832 Pickford & Co's Boat was loaded at Preston Brook with sundries and cotton twist for delivery at Stoke, Horninglow, Derwent Mouth, and Derby, on a journey that would have been on the Trent & Mersey Canal to Swarkestone and then along the Derby Canal. The Railway Age was yet to arrive and the canals were the main bulk carriers of goods.

Memories of bus travel in the 1960s with this recently discovered ticket that was lurking in a drawer that I was clearing out. I used to love travelling on North Western buses.
