This line will diverge from the line of the Great Eastern and
Western Railway, near Worcester, and proceeding by Brom-
yard, will end at Leominster, at which point it will unite with the
proposed lines connecting Hereford and Shrewsbury with North
Wales.
The communication by railway between these important towns
and the continuous hop and cider districts has been entirely left
unprovided for by existing arrangements, and this line is brought
forward under the auspices of the Great Eastern and Western
Railway Company, on the strong representations and request of a
large and most influential body of the landed gentry of the neigh-
bourhood.
The object proposed is to make a direct communication between
Leominster, Bromyard, and Worcester, which latter taws has always
been the natural market for the produce of these districts, and to af-
ford the inhabitants the most direct communication with London, as
compared with other lines, by upwards of 30 miles.
No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the act Ls ob-
tained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at 41. per cent.
on all calls from the time of their respective payments, as well as to
limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscrip-
tions.
