The object of this undertaking is to forne a continuous line of rail-
way from Leeds to Liverpool, by extending the lines already made,
or sanctiored by Parliament, from their respective termini at Hud-
dersfield, in Yorkshire, and Bury, in Lancashire, through the inter-
vening country between Huddersfield and Bury, for which extension
a line of railway only 25 miles in length is requisite. Thepp
line will commence at the Huddersfield station, between which place
and Leeds, Parliament has already sanctioned the :ormateion of rail-
ways, and from Huddersfield the proposed line will proced by way
of Hillhouse, Birchencliffe, and Lindley, and thence along the valley
between Stainland and Greetland, through liark'sland, the Yale of
Ripponden, and by Rochdale to Bury, in Lancashire, where it will
join the terminus of the Liverpool and Bury line of railway.
In addition to completing a direct communication from Liverpool
to Leeds, Hell, sad Goole by the shortest practicable route, and by a
much smaller outlay of capital than by any other proposed line, it will
provide for a large and important manufacturing population, hitherto
without the advantage of. railway accommodation, an outlet to the
south by means of the Huddersfield anti Sheffield Junction Railway,
and to Manchester and North and South Lancashire by the railways
above mentioned, and by the Leeds and Manchester Railway, bya
proposed junction therewith at Rochdale.
This line when completed will, in addition to a
s
to the advantagese which
It presents as a through line, pass through succession of
a largeofvalleys
thickly studded with mills and manufactories, consuming
quantity of raw materials and coal, all of which are brought from a
distance, and transmitting to other districts the produce of their in-
dustry, for which purposes a line of railway has became absolutely
necessary, and there can be no doubt that an ample return will be
realised for the outlay of capital required.
The distance bets en Huddersfield anti Rochdale by the present
line of railway is thirty miles, which by the proposed railway will
be reduced to seventeen miles.
The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the right of
haent
-
tering into any arrangements with existing railway companies t
may appear desirable. And power will be taken by the Act of Par-
liament to allow interest to the shareholders at the rate of 41. per
