WOLVERHAMPTON, CHESTER, AND
BIRKENHEAD JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY.
(Provisionally Registered, pursuant to 7 and 8 Victoria, a. 110.)
Capital 1,000,0001., in 50,000 Shares of 201. each.
Deposit 21. 2s. per Share.
PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.
The great principal on which the projectors of this important
scheme have acted, is the establishment of a direct line of commu-
nication between Birmingham and Birkenhead, by the nearest pos-
sible route, and at the smallest possible outlay. To effect this object,
it is proposed to make use either of the Grand Junction, or the Bir-
mingham, Dudley, and Wolverhampton Railway, as for as Wolver-
hampton, and thence to throw out a new line in as straight a direction
as possible to Chester, where a junction will be formed with the rail-
way already existing between that city and Birkenhead. A most
important saving of distance will thus be effected.
It is obvious that such a scheme is fraught with consequences of
the highest possible import to th 4 commercial interests of the respec-
tive districts. The growing prosperity of Birkenhead even now de-
mands a more direct communication with the midland, southern,
western, and eastern counties ; and when her magnificent docks shall
be completed, and the town itself shall have arrived at its destined
greatness, this line will take a prominent position among the most
lucrative of these undertakings.
The Directors, therefore, conscious ofthe great traffic which will flow
from the densely populated termini, propose to construct this line in
as straight a direction as possible, and thereby secure the immense
through traffic which will resort to this railway for shortness and
expedition, from the great manufacturing and agricultural districts of
South Staffordshire, Shropshire, Warwickshire, Worcester, Hereford-
shire, Monmouthshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Northamp-
tonshire, and in fact the whole of the eastern counties, as well as
from London and the important districts to the south, east, and west
of the:metropolis.
Irrespective of the immense population of the termini, it is evident
that this projected line commends itself to the entire inhabitants of
the counties already referred to. The scheme also possesses this fur-
ther and great advantage—that it will, in reality, form a shorter and
mare direct line to the neighbourhood of Liverpool and the district
adjacent, than any which has hitherto been projected ; and by means
of the contemplated line ftom Chester to Holyhead, it will open the
shortest possible route from London to Ireland, and thereby avoid the
delay and inconvenience of a protracted sea voyage. A cursory inspec-
tion of the map of England, and a reference to the plan of this line will
also show that the Trent Valley, London and Birmingham, Birmingham
and Gloucester, Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton, as well as the
projected Staffordshire and Shropshire Railways, will necessarily be
valuable tributaries to this important line of railway.
The line to be constructed by this Company will commence at
Wolverhampton, and proceed through an agricultural district, by
way of Market Drayten to Chester ; and although in its direct course
It may not pass through many towns of importance, the engineering
difficulties of every other route will be avoided, and powerful local
influence brought into co-operation, with this Company.
In the fbrmation of this line the extensive iron district of Lllleshall
has been especially regarded ; and by means of the facilities of
transit afforded by-this Company, the lronmasters if South Stafford-
shire will be enabled to compete with the Scotch market, which they
have hitherto been unable to do in consequence of the heavy charges
for freight.
The Provisional and Managing Committee are in the course of
selection, and will be published in a few days, with other particulars.

This important line of railway is forty-two miles in length; will
commence at the railway station of the Oxford, Worcester, and
Wolverhampton Railway, at Kidderminster, and will proceed from
thence, by way of Tenbury and Leominster, to Hereford, where it
will join the Hereford and Monmouth, and all the other lines of rail-
way which converge from Hereford, and ran into the west of Eng-
land, and the immensely populous coal, iron, and copper districts of
South Wales, and the important district of central Wales.
The intended railway will, by means of its connexion with the
Derbyshire, Worcestershire, and Staffordshire Junction, and that
portion of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton which runs
ttom Dudley to Kidderminster, complete the great chain or railway
communication between the clothing districts of Yorkshire, the coal
and iron ore districts of Derbyshire and Staffordshire, and the large
mineral districts of South Wales. At Tenbury it will form a junc-
tion with the Worcester and Porthdynllaen intended railway, and
will be the only means of enabling Birminghsm, Wolverhampton,
Wedneabory, Walsall, Coventry, Dudley, Stourbridge, and the other
surrounding towns, to avail themselves of the great outlet from Eng-
And to Ireland by means of Porthdynllaen, the future outport for
It will likewise form the nearest route to the north of England,
Manchester. and Liverpool from South Wales, and bs a direct line
from the centre of Wales Into the midland counties. Thus the coats
and other minerals, and the extensive and constantly increasing
Ironworks of Staffordshire, Worcestershire, and Derbyshire, the ma-
nufactures of Lancashire and Yorkshire, the saltworks of Cheshire
and Worcestershire, and the agricultural produce of Wales, Hereford-
shire, South Shropshire, will have a direct and cheap transit.
This railway is essential to complete the dli ect east and west
traffic. The traffic of the populous districts embraced by the under-
taking will afford sufficient remuneration to the shareholdeee, and a
vast augmentation of revenue, which will arise from the through
truffle, will make the stook of the Company produce nine per cent.
So convinced was an important railway company of the great
traffic which would run upon this line, that they bought up the pro-
moters of a similar undertaking at a considerable expense.
The line is free from engineering difficulties, and the gradients are
highly favourable. The Directors reserve the power of adopting the
atmospheric principle and wide gauge, if approved of. The prefer-
oince will be given in the allotment of shares to persons locally inte-
.7ested in the line, and no shares will be appropriated except to per-
yons who shall give satisfactory references.
