This railway has been projected to secure to Manchester and the
flourishing manufacturing district of Lancashire, a direct communi-
cation with Newcastle-upon-Tyne and the important ports and dis-
tricts in the north-eastern part of the kingdom, and in conjunction with
railways now completed or in progress, it will connect Lancashire
with the north of Yorkshire, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Hartlepool,
Durham, and the free port of the Tees, and will shorten the distance
ftom Lancashire to the north-eastern part of England by upwards of
fifty miles. And on reference to the map of England, it will at once
be seen that this is the most direct line which has hitherto been pro-
jected for that important purpose, and much the most easy of con-
struction.
The line will leave the Leeds and Bradford Extension Railway at a
point between Collie and Skipton, and proceed by way of Grassington
and Kettlewell, by Coverdale, to Middleham, and thence to the
Richmond Branch of the Great North of England Itailwey, with
such additions thereto as may effect the most direct communication
with Manchester.
The localities through which the line will pass abound with lead ore,
ironstone, blue limestone, slate, and flags of a superior quality, but are
entirely deficient in coal. And as a direct communication will thus
be made both with the Durham and Lancashire coal fields, a large
amount of revenue may be expected from this source alone, to say
nothing of the benefits which will be conferred on the inhabitants.
In laying out the line great care will be taken to select not only
that which is best for the public, but also to avoid interference with
any ornamental property. And in full reliance upon this under-
standing, the project meets with the warm approbation of a groat
portion of the landowners.
