SECRETARY—HiIton Thomas Jenkins, Esq.
The geographical position of Worcester has caused its adoption as
the point where the broad gunge trunk lines of the west are to have a
common terminus. From Oxford the Great Western Company have
decided on constructing a line of rail :—another project under the pa-
tronage of the same powerful direction is now before the public,
uniting Worcester with Warwick ; and, that the broad gauge will he
carried from Worcester Into Wales, and to the Irish packet stations
on that coast, is now no longer doubtful. This undertaking will com-
plete a series of great avenues of iron-road, whose ramificatiOn
from Worcester will render every part of the kingdom directly
accessible from that city. Passing up the Severn Vale, where
it will disclose a succession of picturesque scenes, it reaches
Stourport, and proceeding thence through Kidderminster, arrives at
Bewdley. This district is one of the chief seats of our carpet manu-
factures, and in the towns here named, exclusive of the intervening
districts, upivards of 30,000 persons are located. Leaving Stourbridge
a little to the east, the line is taken to 13ridgenorth, a town enjoying
an active inland trade, and possessing woollen manufactures and iron,
works, that gives employment to a population of about 15,000. Pass-
ing through or near to Much Wenlock, Broseley, and 3facieley, from
which place there will be a branch to Shrewsbury, the line ascends
Colebrook Dale, and approaching in its course Wellington And Wen:,
enters Whitchurch. From this central place a branch will be formed
to Norwich via Stoke, forming a junction with the Liverpool and
Crewe Railway. The trunk line will continue from Whitchurch, and
passing through or near Malpas, have its northern terminus in the
city of Chester.
In estimating the probable amount of revenue which the Worces-
ter and Chester Railway may be expected to yield, many sources of
profit present themselves, such are the dense population located along
the length of the Severn Vale, and the enriching works of industry
in which they are engaged. Amongst the latter may be mentioned
the China manufactories of Worcester; the iron, coal, and earthen..
ware works at Broseley and other places; the agricultural produce
brought to Stourport market; the inexhaustible fields of coal and
mines of iron ore in the vicinity of Colebrook Dale, Ironbrldge, and
the districts to the east of Shrewsbury generally.
In calculating the cost of construction unusual advantages are also
obvious. The line traverses a district affording levels of several
miles in extent, and with a surface peculiarly favourable. The resi-
dent population, disappointed by the postponement of promised pro-
jects, have warmlyl espoused the present, and the labouring popula-
tion being familiar with mining operations, will be found better
qualified for the execution of railway works here than in many other
localities.
