By this line of railway it is intended to connect the free port of
Stockton with the manufacturing districts of the West Riding of
Yorkshire and the whole of Lancashire.
This important object will be attained at a trifling outlay of capital,
and ensure an-amply remunerative traffic.
The line will be constructed from or near Stockton-on-Tees, to
or near to Northallerton, a distance of only eighteen miles, where it
will form a junction with the Great North of England Railway, which
will be traversed to Thirsk ; and from that place the communication
with Leeds and the other important manufacturing towns will be
completed by a railway already sanctioned by Parliament.
It will be seen, therefore, that the communication by railway be-
tween the free port of the Tees and the town of Leeds will be com-
pleted by the formation of " The Stockton, Northallerton, and Leeds
Railway." The advantages of this undertaking are too numerous
to specify in an advertisement; but merchants at all acquainted with
the immense export and import trade of the West Riding and of
Lancashire, will at once perceive how important it is to open to that
trade a port which, whilst it is as advantageous as any other in point
of distance, possesses facilities and immunities which none other
can offer.
From the favourable locality of the port of Stockton, there is no
doubt that, with the additional facilities for the importation and
transit of merchandise which this railway will afford, the port will
occupy a leading position amongst those on the Eastern coast of
England.
The project has received very extensive local support; and almost
every landowner, through whose property the line is intended to pass,
has already signified his assent to the measure.
The line of the country has been surveyed by an engineer of talent
and experience, and, from his report, the work will be finished for
14,0001. a mile ; and there is no engineering difficulty of any descrip-
tion to encounter.
Applications for Shares, in the subjoined form, may be forwarded
to Messrs. Wilson and Faber, solicitors, Stockton; or to Samuel
Shepherd, Esq., solicitor, Northalierton ; sip to and including Satur-
day, the Ist day ofNovember next, on which day the list will finally
close, and the allotment be immediately proceeded with.
