,444,ri? order of Peter Hesketh Fleetwood, Esq., of Rossall

k PETER44''Inla HESKETII FLEETWOOD. ESQ., M.P.
th estire„, 3:,0g before you my report, with the surveys, section,
tteiatrho's for making a railway, from the town of Preston to
4104211: of Wyre, together with such improvements and ac-
kliat the-4 for shipping in the said harbour as appear to be neces-
Vatolening of the railway, and for a short time after, I have
Ilflrtl'efill° report that, in conformity with your instructions, 1
1, estop 3' examined the country extending between the town
tabu and the harbour of Wyre, and I have much satisfaction
‘7,ofthat it vvould be difficult to find a more favourable coun-
),i;hlle whorne extent, for the construction of a railway.

!'ea titt'oo will also show that the total difference of level be-
to th 5 termini is but 41 feet ; the highest point or summit level
ie. le„,l4lnlinus at Preston, on the same level as, and very near
illter;e"easter Canal, and only 600 feet distant from the pro-

of the North*Union Railway. On the Section
killeeed that the greatest inclination of the Railway will
rki seven feet six inches per mile, which extends along four
c yriai the whole of the remainder is nearly level. Another very
iiZetantsmtage which this line of country presents is that, not-
Waye g s° great an extent of country is traversed on levels
i I.arable than have hitherto been obtained in making of
4 t.L',, Yet the quantity of earth to be removed, which now ex-
for irPer elevation, will exactly provide the quantity neces-
af th,,l,g such other parts as are at present below the intended
tft %Id ilailway ; and it is important to observe that the cut-
eth,the tZbankments are fortunately so divided along the line,
.hulade'nPort of the materials will be short as compared with
eitZi4esoiPtings of the like description.

the
town
will be saved.
hp ovin of Preston a viaduct about 600 feet in length, and
14‘, h`") feet high, will carry the railway across a narrow and
kialettita
;Yr, and there also will cross over the turnpike road lead-
h), totwijeston to Kirkham ; the work will be very ornamental.
hidiort " Perceive on the plan, that the line, although considera-
om shorter tha_

Ne ,-,thetowns of Kirkham and Poulton may derive every
