A Darlington council worker is appealing for help to discover the background to a piece of local history.
Gary Puggmurr, 30, of Neasham Road, was hoeing his garden when he found a 63-year-old invoice.
The invoice from British Insulated Cables Ltd, in Prescot, Lancashire, relates to a bill owed by an engine works in Darlington.
It is dated September 20, 1937, and addressed to who he believes is a man called "John Lindsey".
Mr Puggmurr thinks the invoice came from the former Tinsley Engineering Works, which is near his home.
He said: "I just want some help now to find out more about it."
Anyone who thinks they might be able to help should contact (07901) 777066
