This important line, commencing at the terminus of the Manches-
ter and Sheffield Railway, in the populous manufacturing town of
Sheffield, will proceed, in a direct course, by or through Hope,
Hathersage, Castleton, Chapel-en-le-Frith, and Whaley (the great
canal-port of the Potteries), to the terminus of the Manchester and
Macclesfield Railway at Macclesfield, the total length of the line
being nearly thirty miles.
The importance of connecting these termini would, abne, be suffi-
cient to ensure full support to the present undertaking, from the
dense population, manufacturing influence, and general traffic of the
towns in question ; but when It is considered that this connexion, or
junction, stands in the very centre of the entire railway system of
England, and that it will complete the chain of railway communi-
cation and transit between the river Humber, the towns of Sheffield
and Macclesfield, the Staffordshire Potteries, the Salt Niches of
Cheshire, the city of Chester, the docks of Liverpool and Birkenhead,
will be completed without
Banger Ferry. and the harbour of Holyhead, the advantages are too
manifest to be for a moment questioned.
