THE SHEFFIELD, BUXTON, LEEK,
POI 'FERIES, AND CREWE RAILWAY.
Registered Provisionally under 7th and Bth, Vict a, chap. 110.
Capital, 600,0001. In 12,000 Shares of 501. tach.
Deposit, 21. 15s. per Share.
NOTICE is hereby given, that a Company is formed in conjunction
with the Manchester and Amber-gate, and Manchester, S u fileld, and
Midland Junction Railways, and also with another Company forming
a line from Stoke to Crewe, and an application will be made in the
ensuing session of Parliament for an Act authorising the construction
of a railway commencing at or near Sheffield, in the county of York,
and passing by way of Bakewell, Buxton, Leek, and the Staffordshire
Potteries, to Crewe in the county of Chester.
By this line of railway it will be clearly seen that a grand com-
munication will be opened direct from Hull and Sheffield to the
Staffordshire Potteries, Crewe, Chester, and North Wales, direct to
Holyhead and Ireland, and must of necessity command a very con-
siderable through traffic. .

This line will traverse a district at present totally without railway
accommodation.

A survey has been made, and the line presents no engineering
difficulties of importance.
By this line of railway rich fields of coal, lime, and quarries of
marble will be thrown open, and also a direct communication opened
for the conveyance of the pottery wares into the east and north of
England, and for the Sheffield wares into the Potteries, Chester,
North Wales, Holyhead, awl Ireland, by the shortest route by many
miles, which at present are conveyed round by Manchester, or by
way of Birmingham, and considering the slow transit by canals or
land carriage, a great saving of expense and time must ensue.
The passenger traffic between the eastern parts of England and the
Potteris, Chester, North Wales, Holyhead, and Ireland, must be very
great in addition to the intermediate traffic.

It has been proved by the Manchester and Buxton Company, that
Buxton has 20,000 visitors in the season ; Bakewell, 6,000 ; Chats-
worth, 48,000 ; Dovedale, 10,000 ; and Matlock, 15,000 ; and which,
no doubt, by the proposed railway, will be very much increased.
It will also throw open the Collieries at or near Norton-in-the-
Moors, between Stoke and Leek, to the whole line of road from Leek
to Buxton, which is much called for.
The interest of the Companies in connexion with the proposed line
will be considered, and shares reserved for them, and the proprietors
of la ids on the line.

A prospectus will be issued shortly, and in the meanwhile all com-
munications, as well as applications for shares, in the following form
may be made to Messrs. Wilson, Younge and Pierson, solicitors, She`-
field; Thomas Redfern, Esq., solicitor, Leek; or Thomas Whalley
Bolton, Esq., solicitor, No. 4, Elm-court, Temple, Lond•u
