The Lots 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15, are now particularly
desirable from their proximity to the intended Depots and
Wharfs of the Stockton and Darlington Rail-way Company at
Croft Bridge, from which a very extensive trade into York-
shire is anticipated to arise. The above Estate is situated in
a beautiful rnd picturesque Country on the Banks of the River
Tees, and commands an extensive and delightful Prospect of
the surrounding country, and is at the distance of about three
miles from the increasing and flouring market.town of Dar-
lington. The Fields are conveniently divided by good Quick
Hedges, and the Land is of superior quality. From the
contiguity of this Estate to the Croft Branch Rail-way, now
in progress, and the Depots and Wharfs intended to be made
by the Company at Croft Bridge, its value will be greatly in-
creased.

The respective Tenants will shew the Premises; and further
particulars may be obtained on application to Mr. Otley, land-
agent, Darlington, or at the office of Mr. Itlewburn, of the
same place, attorney-at-law, where a plan of the Estate, and
