The object of this important undertaking is to continue the line of
railway communication from Manchester via the proposed Notting-
ham, Erewash Valley, Amber Gate, and Manchester Railway to
Grantham, at which latter place it will unite itself with an extension
to the eastern coast of England, so as to open the nearest and most
direct communication between the densely-populated manufacturing
districts of Lancashire, Cheshire, Staffordshire, and Nottinghamshire,
and the eastern agricultural and maritime counties.
The line will also open a direct communication with the extensive
and valuable coal-field and mineral district of Nottinghamshire and
Derbyshire, the intercourse with which has, to a great extent, been
shut out for want of the means of an expeditious and cheap transit
through a country hitherto unoccupied by a railway communication.
The mineral traffic alone cannot fail to produce a fair remunera-
tion to the Shareholders, independently of the extensive traffic in
flour, corn, malt, and live stock, to the manufacturing and consuming
'districts, and the merchandise traffic sent from those places, in re-
turn, to the agricultural parts. A considerable revenue may be
anticipated from the ready facility with which the justly celebrated
watering places of Matlock, Bakewell, and Buxton, and the ro-
mantic Peak of Derbyshire, may be approached from the eastern
coast.
As preliminary arrangements have been entered into to combine the
Grantham Canal interest with the projected Railwayto be constructed
through the same line of country, to vest both concerns in one un-
dertaking, the advantages of a combined ownership of the Canal and
Railway interest, are in many respects so obvious as to render com-
ment superfluous. The line, having been surveyed, is reported to be
free from any engineering difficulties, and the cost of formation will
be much below the average cost as compared with the generality of
other lines.
The line will be about twenty-two miles in length, and save a con-
siderable distance between Grantham and Manchester.
It is intended to commence by a junction with the Nottingham,
Erewash Valley, Amber Gate, and Manchester Railway, at Notting-
ham ; and proceed through the several parishes of Sneinton, Colwick,
West Bridgford, Holme Pierrepoint, Cotgrave, Radcliffe, Saxondaie,
Bingham, Scarrington, Aslockton, Whatton, Orston, Sutton, Elton,
Bottesford, Redmile, Muston, Woolsthorpe, Harlaxton, and Bar-
rowby to Grantham,
