About Fencing in Peterlee
Peterlee in County Durham was designated a new town in 1948 to provide modern housing for coal mining communities living in substandard conditions in the surrounding villages, named in honour of Peter Lee, a local council and miners' leader. After an early masterplan by architect Berthold Lubetkin was rejected, Sir George Grenfell Baines took over the design from 1952, and the artist Victor Pasmore later served as consulting director of urban design, creating the Apollo Pavilion in 1969, a Grade II star listed piece of Brutalist public art that remains the town's best known landmark.
