Edmondson type railway ticket issued by the South Shields, Marsden and Whitburn Colliery Railway (National Coal Board) for a dog on a single journey (the direction is not specified). The fare was 3d and the ticket is numbered 193. The ticket is printed on a rectangular piece of pink coloured stiff card; a disclaimer is printed on the reverse. After 31st December 1946, the Harton Coal Company became part of the National Coal Board and the staff were instructed to cross out the Harton Coal Company name and write NCB on the ticket until reprinted ones were issued, as can be seen on this ticket. So the ticket dates from between 1947 (the year the National Coal Board came into being) and November 1953 when the passenger line went out of service.
