THE LIVERPOOL AND HULL DIRECT
CONNECTING RAILWAY, via BLACKBURN, BURN-
LEY, and LEEDS.
The public are informed that a line of railway is intended to be
made from the stations of the severld railways now forming and pro-
jected at Blackburn, through the town of Burnley, to Leeds.
This line, with its conjunctions, and particularly the projected
Blackburn, Chorley, and Liverpool Railway, will have a decided ad-
vantage over all other existing lines from Leeds to Liverpool, as it is
intended to carry it down, or near to, the docks at Liverpool, and
when completed will form the nearest and only direct route from the
docks on the Humber at Hull, to those on the Mersey at Liverpool,
being a communication so long wanted and suggested by many lead-
ing and influential merchants at the two important ports of Liver-
pool and Hull.
By this line a very considerable saving of distance between Hull,
Leeds, Liverpool, and the important and densely-populated manu-
facturing districts, and the extensive and best coal fields of the two
counties of York and Lancaster will be effected.
This project has been in contemplation for a considerable period,
the promoters of which did not intend to bring it before the public
until the surveys were fully completed, but in consequence of a pre-
liminary notice having been issued by some other parties, and this
purporting to go over nearly the same ground, the projectors of this
scheme think the time has now arrived for making their intentions
public.
A Prospectus, with an extensive and influential Provisional Com-
mittee, will shortly appear, and in the meantime applications for
Shares, in the annexed form, may be made to the Solicitors, or to the
following Brokers :—Mr. J. W. Hamilton, 3, South Gallery, Auction
