SECRETARY (pro Lem.)—William Pu'Mord, Esq.
This important line will commence at the city of Worcester, and
be carried near Tenbury to its termination at Ludlow ; leaving the
Vale of the Severn, it will reach, with an easy sweep, the Teme
Valley, and running up the course of the Teme, will pursue through-
out the greater portion of its course a water level. As an independent
line, it affords no ordinary facilities for cheap and speedy formation,
and being carried through a rich, fertile, and populous country,
will be able to furnish a traffic table sufficient for the purposes of
ample remuneration to the Shareholders.
As a junction line, and forming a portion of that great chain of
communication between the metropolis and Porthdynllaen, which
will eventually become the ordinary and nearest route to Ireland, it
is not easy to calculate its advantages. A straight line, drawn from
London to Porthdynllaen, will pass near to the towns of Worcester,
Tenbury, Ludlow, and Newtown, showing that this railway must
necessarily be a portion of a grand trunk line.
On the completion of the railways projected to Newtown, it wlll
necessarily be the medium of transit for all passengers going to the
northern and central parts of Wales ; it will bring the woollens of
Montgomeryshire to London and the east, and on the carrying out the
projected Newtown and Porthdynllaen line, it will be the high road
between London and Dublin.
This Company is strictly independent, and unconnected with any
other. It will reserve to itself the power of continuing its course to
the Craven Arms and Newtown, should the projected line to New-
town fail to obtain an Act of Parliament, and also to extend its
course beyond Newtown to Porthdynllaen, and to raise any addi-
tional capital requisite to perform these several extensions. As an
investment of capital there can be no superior one.
Worcester, from its situation on the rich Vale of the Severn, from
its population, wealth, and manufactures, must naturally become the
most important centre from which all lines from the metropolis, hav-
ing North Wales, part of South Wales, and Ireland, as their objects
of communication, eventually converge.
There are no difficult earthworks or tunnels on the line. The
gradients are easy, for a greater part of the distance on a water
level. A survey has been made.
In the allotment of shares, every preference will be given to par-
ties locally interested ; and in setting out the line, the greatest atten-
tion will be given, as far as possible, to respect ornamental property,
gentlemen's grounds, &c.
The principal part of the influential landowners, between Worces-
ter and Porthdynllaen, have expressed their unqualified approbation
of the railway and its objects, and have promised their most ener-
getic support.
Powers will be taken in the Act to adopt the atmospheric mode of
of traction, if it should be fund requisite.
The liability of shareholders will be limited by the Act to the
amount of their several subscriptions.
Applications for shares must be made in the form appended at the
Offices of the Company ; to the Solicitors ; or to Messrs. Carden and
Whitehead, Sharebrokers, Threadneedle-street, London.
