PROSPECTUS.
This short but important line of railway is intended to commence
at a point in tile Tean and Dove Valley Railway, at or near to
Snareston, and to extend to Leicester.
It will thus furnish a link necessary for carrying on the traffic
brought to Leicester by means of the South Midlands, the Bedford,
and the Peterborough Railways (all of which terminate at or near
Leicester), to the Staffordshire Potteries and the great towns of Lan-
cashire and Cheshire, and complete an unbroken line of railway, by
the best and nearest practicable route, from the various important
railway termini at Leicester to Manchester and Liverpool.
This great line of railway, it will be observed, traverses the finest
coal fields in the country, and embraces the towns of Burton-upon-
Trent, Uttoxeter, Cheadle, Leek, Macclesfield, Lane End, Stoke-
upon-Trent, and Newcastle-under-Lyme, and the important and
rapidly-increasing potteries of Swadlincote and Gresley, as well as
those of Staffordshire.
An inspection of the map will show that the junction line now
proposed is essential for the accommodation of the public, and it can-
not fail to be exceedingly remunerative to the proprietors.
The undertaking has the cordial support of the Tean and Dove
Valley Railway Company.
In the allotment of shares preference will be given to Shareholders
in that Company, and to parties locally interested in the line.
The capital of the Company will;be 300,0001., divided into 15,000
shares of 201. each ; a deposit of 21. 2s. per share must be paid on al-
lotment, and each original subscriber must execute the usual Parlia-
mentary and Subscription Contract, or his shares will be forfeited.
Copies of the prospectus and map may be had from the Secretary
and Solicitors ; and applications for shares must be made to the
Secretary only, accompanied by a reference to a member of the Pro-
visional Committee, a banker, or to one of the solicitors of the
Company.
Shareholders in the Tean and Dove Valley Railway who apply,
will please to state the number of shares they hold in that Company.
