The entire property of the Regent's Canal Company, extending
from Paddington to Limehouse, having been purchased, it is pro•
pos. d to form a railway on its site, with an extension from the
City• road basin to the vicinity of the General Post-office.
The vast importance of this undertaking, whereby a junction will
be effestcd between all existing and projected railways north of the
Thames, combined with the advantage of a general City terminus,
is too obvious to require comment.
By the proposed railway, passengers and goods will be brought
into the heart of the City at a great saving of time and expense,
and facilities will be afforded for the more expeditious transmission
of the mails to most parts of the kingdom.
The li,.e will commence at the Great Western Railway ter-
minus, and will follow the course of the canal throughout, inter-
secting tl.e London and Birmingham Railway at Camden-town,
the proposed London and York and Direct Manchester near Ben-
tonville, the Eastern Counties at Old Ford, and the Blackwell
Railway at Limehouse ; traversing the populous districts of Pad.
dineton, Camden-town, Islington, City-road, Hoxton, Kingsland,
and Hackney,—terminating at the Regent's Canal Dock at Lime-
house, a.!.oining the River Thames, to which there is a wharf
frontage of 170 feet.
The basins, wharfs, warehouses, and buildings at the City.road,
Ilmehouse, and along the line of canal, will be equally available
as at present for the large and increasing local goods traffic now
existing on the canal.
Surveys have been made of the property required for the pro-
posed extension, which it is found can be constructed at a corn.
paratively moderate expense.
The object of the Company will be to secure the best accommo-
dation to the public, and to deal impartially with the present and
all tuture companies who may avail themselves of this line. The
property of the present railway companies will be materially im-
proved, and a great national work effected, in a manner and at a
cost which csuld be accomplished by no other means than by the
conversion of the Regent's Canal.
There are no engineering difficulties of importance to overcome,
the approaches to, and the communications across the line, are
already established, and a comparatively small extent only of pd.
vete property will be interered with or require to be purchased,
and the completion of the works and the opening of the line may
be confidently expected within twelve months after the sanction of
the Legislature has been obtained.
Applications for prospectuses and shares to be made to the se-
cretary, Frederick Collier, Esq., at the offices of the Company,
Gresham-rooms, Basinghall.street.
Parties who are registered proprietors in the Regent's Canal and
in the existing railways and docks connected with this undertaking,
e requested to state the fact in their application.
