This Railway is intended to open a communication from the rich
and important counties of Salop, Hereford, Brecknock, and Carmar-
then, to the Metropolis and the south-eastan► parts of England, to the
Staffordshire iron districts and Potteries, to Manchester and the ma-
nufacturing districts, as well as to Liverpool, by means of and in im-
mediate connexion with the Trent Valley and Welsh Midland Lines.
and their adjuncts, the proposed North Staffordshire Lines, and tho
Manchester and Birmingham Railway.
The main line will run by Wellington and Newport to Stafford,
there joining the Trent Valley Railway. A Branch to Norton-
bridge will meet the proposed North Staffordshire Line, and afford a
direct access to Manchester ; and another branch to the neighbour-
hood of Coalhrook-dale, will bring that populous district Into easy
connexion with the main line.
The Railway will thus constitute a Central and necessary link in
the great chain of communication 'across the kingdom, and connect
the county towns of Hereford, Shrewsbury, and Stafford, by means
which interfere with no other existing or projected railway. The
main line, and the branch to Conlbrook-dale, skirt the great coal and
iron districts of South Shropshire, and, indeed, the wealth of the
country traversed in coal, iron, and lime-stone, in agricultural pro-
duce and live stock is well known. The population contiguous to
the railway, exclusive of the towns of Shrewsbury and Stafford, ex-
ceeds 114,000.
The country has been earethlly surveyed, and there is no doubt that
the main line and branches cab be constructed at an exceedingly mo-
derate cost.
Maps and copies of the Prospectus may be had at the Company's
Offices, 11, Bridge-street, Westminster; from the Solicitors at Man-
chester and Newport; or from Messrs. Carden and Whitehead,
Brokers, Threadneedle-street, London ; and applications for Shares
may be made, in the annexed form, to the Provisional Directors, at
their offices ; but no application will be received later than the 17th
of May.
Applicants, being Shareholders in the Trent Valley Railway Com-
pany, must specify in their application the number of shares so
held by them.
