This line of railway, which is about sixty-five miles in length, is
intended to commence at Uttoxeter (the terminus of the proposed
Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and Worcestershire Junction Railway) and
to proceed to Sheffield and Huddersfield. It will farm a direct com-
munication between two of the most import sot manufacturing and
mining districts in England, viz., South Staffordshire, Huddersfield,
and Sheffield, and Rotherham In Yorkshire ; the South Staffordshire
portion including Dudley, Tipton,Walsall, Bilston, Wednesbury, and
Wolverhampton.
This line will also open a direct railway communication between
Leeds, Huddersfield, and the West Riding of Yorkshire and Kidder-
minster, Worcestershire, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, Taunton,
and Exeter, and with Ludlow, Leominster, Hereford, Brecon. Car-
diff, Neath, Swansea, Lianelly, Caermarthen, Milford Haven, Fish-
guard, Aberystwith, and with Port Dynnllaen, the future outport for
Ireland. And also the most direct communication between Leeds
and Southampton.
The line will pass nearly along the Uttoxeter and Caldon Canal to a
point near Prestwood, In case the canal be purchased by the pro-
Inciters of this undertaking. It will proceed through Ellaston and
Mayfield to Ashbourne, thence near Dovedale, Buxton, and Chapel-
en-la-Frith, Woodhead and Holinfirth to Huddersfield, where it will
join the Huddersfield anti Leeds Railway, and so to Thirsk. It will
open new mines, in addition to those already in work, of lead, coal,
iron ore, barytes, and carboniferous and magnesian limestone on the
route, in addition to forming a direct, speedy, and cheap communica-
tion between the important towns above mentioned.
Arrangements have been made with other companies to run into
this line from Sheffield. This company reserves the right to raise
additional capital to extend the line to Leeds.
Many of the above-mentioned mineral productions are essential to
the mining districts of South Staffordshire and Sheffield. The North
Staffordshire and Derbyshire Limestone is much superior to that of
South Staffordshire in the fluxion of iron (15 cwt. of the former being
equal to a ton of the latter), and producing a better quality of ma-
terial. At present, the mode of transit is very circuitous and expen-
sive, the line from the Caldon Mines having to go by canal round
by Etruria, Leek, and the Potteries, to the Dudley and surrounding
furnaces, when, by this railway, it would be taken in a straight line
to them ; and the Ashbourne, Cromford, Worksworth, and Bakewell
country would have an entirely new trade opened to them. The iron-
stone in the neighbourhood of Sheffield is also becoming very scarce,
and great quantities are Introduced from Scotland; the same scarcity
exists in South Staffordshire; and the route of this line would fur-
nish a cheap and good supply, at present not worked, and without a
market, boils north and south. In addition to these great advan-
tages, a good local market would be opened along the agricultural
and other parts of the district at present very badly supplied with
lime and coal, and that of an inferior quality, and by expensive car-
riage. It is, therefore, next to impossible to calculate the immense
traffic which would pour down this line and the Derbyshire, Stafford-
shire, as d Wore r, tershlre Junction Railway.
The calculations which have been made show a very large profit.
There are large lead and slate quarries on the line which only want
an outlet like the one now contemplated to bring them into fill work.
The coal is of a superior quality.
