This project, whether viewed as a means of private investment, or
as a great public undertaking, presents advantages seldom equalled.
Forming a junction at Stourport with the London, Worcester, and
South Staffordshire Railway, the proposed Railway will pass up the
valley of the Severn, and through, or in the immediate neighbour-
hood of, Bewdley, Kidderminster, Bridgnorth Much Wenlock,
Madeley, Iron-bridge, Coal Brook Dale, to Shrewsbury, and thence
near Market Drayton, Andlem, and Nantwich, to Crewe, where it
will terminate by a junction with the Manchester and Birmingham,
and Grand Junction Railways.
Besides giving the above exceedingly populous and thriving places

the benefit of a direct communication with each other, mad railway
accommodation to a district now entirely destitute of it, the proposed
railway will als, establish the shortest route from the North of
England, ,Manchester, Liverpool, Ireland, Holyhead, North Wales,
and Chester (through Shrewsbury), to Worcester, Cheltenham,
Gloucester, South Wales, Bristol, Bath, Exeter, Falmouth, and the
south-western counties, and moreover will form the high-road into
the centre of Wales from the northern and midland counties.
Thus, the manufactures and minerals of the extensive and rapidly
increasing iron works, and collieries of Shropshire, and the salt works
of Cheshire, as well as the immense agricultural produce from those
counties, the Valley of the Severn, llerefordshire, and the centre of
Wales, will reach the markets and ports of Lancashire, 'Worcester-
shire, Gloucestershire, Devonshire, and Cornwall, by a rapid and
cheap transit.
It is considered that the present traffic between the various towns
on the line of tho proposed railway will secure a profitable return
open the capital ; hut when the increase which will arise from the
completion of the railway, and the through-traffic consequent thereon
are taken into account, there can be no doubt that the undertaking
will prove one of the most desirable investments in the kingdom.
As the line from Stourport to Shrewsbury will traverse the Valley
of the Severn, the works in that district must of necessity be light
and easy; the country also between Shrewsbury and Crewe is well
adapted for the cons ruction of a railway.
