CF A CENTRAL CITY TERMINUS TO THE CITIZENS AND

TO THE WHOLESALE AND RETAIL TRADE OF THE CIT.
W. H. ASHURST, EsQ.,
Member of the Corporation of London, Chairman of the Com-
mittee of City Lands, and Solicitor of the Direct London
and Manchester Railway Company.
London, September 30, 1815.
My Dear Sin—While many of the most wealthy and
influential of the citizens and csrporators of London have em-
barked their capital, and lent the weight and influence of
their character and station to support the numerous gigantic
measures of public improvement which are now afloat,
not a single Company exists to direct the stream
of capital and euterpri-e in furtherance of any
local improvement within the City of London ;
nay more—amid the mighty changes which are now taking
place in the metropolis of the empire, so far from promoting
the local interests of the City (the source of their wealth and
influence), we find the names of many of our mot t esteemed
citizens engaged in speculations, having for their avowed ob-
jeet, to divert into other channels many of the advantages,
which as the great centre o communication, the City of
London has hitherto exclusivf ely, or at least principally
enjoyed.
By some of these speculations it is proposed to expend mil-
lions in constructing great central railroad termini (as they
are somewhat oddly designated) in the suburb, of au:: City;
Hungerford-market, Lambeth, Southwark, Nine Elms, Cam-
den Town Battle-bridge, Finsbury, and other places are va-
riously talked of for this purpose.' Other projectors have p:o-
-posed to connect the various existing and intended lines by
railways round the outskir:s of London; and yet, amid the
countless schemes which the newspapers are daiiy advert icing,
there is not in existence, I believe, a single company wines
contemplates the bringing of railway traffic into the City;
although, as the principal seat cf all the great banking, mer-
cantile, and trading establishments of the kingdom, the City
is the common point to which the greater portion of metro-
politan railway traffic would seem naturally to tend.
The evil consequences to the Cite of this vast expenditure
of capital in the suburbs may not at present be perceived by
those even who are, like yourself; deeply interested in its wel-
fare, but we may assure ourselves, that " where the honey is
there the bees are found." The localities in which these im-
provements take place will (if the City do not provide i' self
with similar accommodation) speedily draw around them
business establishments of every deseription, and will
tra uld ti-
mately drain from the City a large portion of the e,
which, if it be allowed a fair start in the race of inaeroverueet,
its central situation and existing commercial prc-eminence
will infallibly secure.
The reasons which surveyors and others engaged in these
new undertakings have assigned fir excluding the City from
all their contemplated plans, is, that the Corporation upon
former occasions resisted the introduction of railroads into
the City with so much vigour and pertinacity, that specu-
lators are afraid to peril the success of their projects by en-
countering so serious an opposition.
This objection has within the last few days been broadly
stated by a of the active Directors of your Manchester
line ;he i .me that the Company would Madly make
their ternit n Farringdon-street, if they could obtain the
sanction of the City.
You, Mr. Ashurst, as an influential member of the Common
Council, have much to answer fur, if you, as sol;citor of
the Company, bring acqueinted with the existeuce of
this feeling do not teat the ex I s dug opinion of the Corpora-
tion on this subject, by bringing the subject under the serious
consideration of the court
When, as guardians of the public interest:, the Common
Council thought fit to discountenance the introduction of
railroads into the City, the subject was novel and but imper-
fectly understood. Danger from fire, and annoyance from
smoke and noise were apprehended from the use of loco-
motive engines in a crowded city : besides which, it was
anticipated, if one railroad were:permitted to penetrate into
the heart of the City, it would be difficult to exclude others,
arid our principal streets might be intersected in all directions
by a confluence of railroads on viaducts concentrating every
description of confusion and noise.
As an officer of the Corporation I should perhaps act more
prudently if I preserved silence, allowed "laissez frire"
to be my motto, confined my labours to the discharge of my
official duties, pocketed my salary, and left the City and its
interests to take care of themselves. I cannot however per-
suade myself te be prudent ream such terms ; and even at the
risk of being set down as a meddlsr en matters which. in my
official position concern me not, I have determined to open
my mind to you upon this ell-important subject, with the
frankness and freedom of former times. Being placed in a
situation in which I cannot act as I would do were I again
a member of the Court of Common Council in which I spent
so many years; I charge you by the responsibility you owe
to the public (from the high station you hold in the Corpo-
ration) to arouse the citizens from their apathy, that they
may not be deprived by foreign speculators of the trading
advantages of situation they have hitherto possessed, and
which by a little exertion they may continue to retain.:
In thus addressing you, you will of course understand that
I do but represent my own individual opinions ;—I do not
write as City Solicitor ;—I have no authority directly or indi-
rectly from the Corporation, or either of its Committees, or
from any individual member, to communicate with you or
with any other person upon the subject. I, however, am by
no means desirous to shrink from any personal responsibility
which the expression of these opinions may create; you are
therefore at perfect liberty to deal with this letter es you
may think proper. I have kept a copy, and shall consider
myself entitled to make it public, if circumstances should
hereafter render it necessary to show that I am neither in-
sensible of, nor indifferent to, the serious injury which the
the best interests of our city will suffer, if the present golden
opportunity is lost, of effecting those local improvements
which are absolutely essential to enable it to compete in com-
mercial facilities with the surrounding districts.
I do riot desire to excite your attention, and leave your
mind distracted by idle speculations or vague generalities.
I shall lay before you therefore a specific plan of improve-
ment within the City, which, for public utility and private
profit, need not, in my opinion, fear competition with any of
the great projects of the day.
First.—l propose that a railroad shall be constructed, from
Battle-bridge to Farringdon-street, for the use of such
of the Northern, the North-Eastern, and North,
Western lines, as shall desire to have a terminus in the
centre of the City, and shall be willing fairly to contri-
bute to the cost of construction, either by payment of a
due proportion of the first- charge, or by a fixed or flue-
dilating rent as may be agreed, by the Company making,
and the Companies using, the lines.
Explanation.—lt is presumed that this great undertaking
may be more effectually, speedily, and economically exe-
cuted by one of the existing Companies, who are prepared
with adequate capital, machinery, and staff to carry it out ;
or it; may be carried into execution by a Company formed
for the purpose out of members of the other lines.
If the Railroad Companies know their own true interests,
they will avoid all foolish jealousies, and avail themselves of
the manifold advantages which a combined capital and an
united plan of operations will afford, in obtaining- for all who
desire the centre of the City as the resting- place of their
traffic, a great trunk line, and a grand centrarterminus, equal
in capacity to all their wants. The union of the several
termini at one central spot will prove equally convenient to
the public and beneficial to the shareholders. The railroad
may at once be made wide enough for cell its customers pre-
sent and future: capital will thus be economised, costly law
and Parliamentary contests e ill be avoided, and the expense
and annoyance will he saved of piece-meal patching and
e bit by hit reform." Let the originally defective arrange-
ments of the Greenwich, South-Eastern, Brighton iod Croy-
don lines teach wisdom to those who desire like them to stop
at the same spot.
The plan here suggested will, I expect, remove one of the
principal objections formerly raised against the introduction
of railroads irate the City.
The dedication of one spot to the accommodation of half a
dozen railroads is very different from a proposal to introduce
them to half a dozen different termini, by half a dozen dif-
ferent routes.
Secondly.—For the purpose of showing the line proposed, I
have laid it down roughly upon a copy of Horwood's
map which I send herewith :—I do not mean to pretend
that this is the precise line which it will be.found ulti-
mately expedient to adopt ; that will depeutZ upon the
adjastment of the gradients by competent engineers,
when the levels are taken, and the longitudinal and cross
sections are laid down upon an actual survey of the line.
It will be perceived that the line pursues (with slight de-
viations) the low ground which anciently formed the
valley of the Fleet River.
Explanation.—Besides the other advantages of carrying
the railroad in this valley, which will be presently enume-
rated, it will have the effect of uprooting the haunts of
wretchedness, squalor, and disease, which infest the valley,
and are, it is admitted on all hands, a standing reproach to
the wealthy capital of the richest nation in the world. Any
well-defined plan, capable of effectually removing this nui-
sance, will undoubtedly receive the support of the Govern-
ment and the Legislature. This part of my plan is one (and
I will presently name the other) wing which would materially
aid any Bill through Parliament. If, in addition to the
intrinsic merits of their own line (of which I hnnw nothing)
the "Direct Manchester" and the " Direct York " want to
gain, from extrinsic circumstances, votes to be used in an
apprehended Parliamentary struggle, I advise them to lose
no time in appropriating to themselves the merit of abolishing
an evil, which Sanatory Commissions and Parliamentary
Committees have in vain denounced.
Thirdly.—lt is proposed that the railroad shall be worked by
atmospheric power.
Explanation.—When I suggested this project seven years
ago, I thought of working the line by means of a stationary
engine and an endless rope. The actual success of atmospheric
pressure as a motive power to railroad carriages may now
perhaps be considered as sufficiently established to warrant
its adoption, without waiting for any further proof. This in-
vention may be equally applied to all carriages to be brought
to a proposed general rendezvous at Battle-bridge by the
various lines, whether worked by locomotive or atmospheric
power; and, by a proper disposition of the rails, it is equally
available for carriages running either on the broad or narrow
gauge. Besides working with steeper gradients and sharper
curve', the use of atmospheric power will be attended with
peculiar advantages in this case. It will remove the other
great objection to tire introduction of railroads within the
confines of the City; all the danger and almost all the noise
which locomotive engines produce will of course be avoided
by the employment of this invention.
Fourthly.—For the reasons which will presently be fully
explained, the railroad is to be constructed in an arcade
or covered way, with eyelets at stated distances in the
roof, and with cuttings or open spaces at intervals in the
centre or the sides, so as to admit of sufficient light and
ventilation.
Explanation.—The covered way here proposed must not be
confounded with an ordinary tunnel, to which in all its ob-
jectionable features it bears no resemblance. Tunnels are
dark, damp, unventilated, and unwholesome. The proposed
covered wawill possess none of these properties ; it ill be
lofty, light and dry, and as airy used cheerful 88 thew 'West-
end arcades.
Fifthly.—The width cf the arcade will be determined by the
number of rails it may be found expedient to lay down
for the accommodation of the various lines. It must at
any rate be of sufficient width, and its roof of
useffid sent
strength, to admit of the upper surface being a
street for the accommodation and transit of foot pas-
sengers, carriages, and carts.
By . placing the railroad in the valley, and by slightly

served; and, M. the same thu , bY a little inauagonent

Explanation.—This, in a üblic point of view, is one of
the most important features p
