This railway will proceed from York to Lancaster (about 72 miles)
by the most direct practicable-route, and pass near Knaresborough,
ilarrowgate, Long Preston, Settle, and many other important places.
The counties of York and Lancaster comprise a population of
3,500,000 persons, and are!perhap.s the most wealthy and populous
divisions of the kingdom. The roads between York and Lancaster
are mostly carried over the tops of hills, and, in winter, are nearly
impassable ; this line will pass along the valleys, and the journey,
now rarely made, by coach, within twelve hours, may be performed,
on the railway, In two hours and a half.
It will provide facilities of access to all the great manufacturing,
mining, and agricultural districts of the north of England, to the Isle
of Man, Ireland, Scotland, and 3Vales ; to Hamburgh, by connecting
Morecambe Bay and Fleetwood Harbour on the west coast with the
port of Hull on the cast coast; to the lakes of Westnioreland and
Cumberland; 'to Harrogate, celebrated for its unrivalled sulphur,
mineral, and chaiybeate springs ; and to the important intermediate
districts between York and Lancaster. which abound with valuable
minerals, and raise vast quantities of live stock and agricultural pro-
duce. Many places near the intended course of the line are known
to possess inexhaustible supplies of lead; iron, slate, limestone, free_
stone, and other. useful minerals, but these arc now comparatively
unavailing, from the great cost of coals and carriage. The railway
will rapidly develop these sources ofprosperity,byintroducing coals at
a low price, and providing cheap carriage for mineral produce of
every kind ; it will, also thrnish a most desirable means of transit for
passengers and merchandise to and from every part of the king-
dom, and a cheap conveyance for immense quantities of live stock
and agricultural produce from tho rural to the Manufacturing
and mining districts. Many completed and projected railways will
intersect this line, and greatly facilitate traffic and intercourse in
every direction; with the Directors of these railways, and of various
others which have a station at York or Lancaster, the Committee
will endeavour to make arrangements likely to prove mutually bene-
ficial, and they have much pleasure in stating that the landowners
along the line are extremely favourable to the
tll2ir undertalchni, anti Ml=
gilder it will materially augment the Vehle Of possessions and
prove advantageous to the country and the shareholders.
It has beets fully ascertained that the Proposed line presents but
p
cniirSe, Tint
few engineering difficulties, and that, although it will pass through
' some very hilly districts, it May be constructed along valleys, Rad
with favourable gradients OWoughoat nearly its elltir
liability of the shareholders will be restricted by Aet, of Parliament
to the amount of their subscriptions, and power Will be applied for
in the Bill to allow interest at four per cent, per 113111:1111 041 all calls,
