This railway will commence te
at the city of Worcesr, proceeding by
the fashionable watering-place of Great Malvern to, the increasing
market town of Ledbury, whence it will be carried through the fertile
district of Much Marcie and Dymock, within an easy distance of
Newent to Ross, a distance of about 28 miles.
At this latter celebrated resort for visitors, it is intended to join the
mon:mouth and Hereford and South Wales Railways, the Bills for
the completion of which have received the Royal Assent during the
last session; and a reference to the map will demonstrate that this
project will not only become a valuable addition to these important
lines, but will supply the only link wanted to complete a direct main
trunk railway between South Wales (embracing the Ports of Fish-
guard, Pembroke, Llanelly, Swansea, Neath, Cardiff, and Newport),
and Worcester, South Staffordshire, Birmingham, Liverpool, and the
North.
