PRELIMINARY ANNOUICCEMENT._

AILWAY FROM MACCLESFIELD,
IV passing close to the Towns of Leek, Cheadle, and Uttoxeter,
to the TrOM Valley Railway north of Lleliflel.l.

PnOVISIOICALLY REGISTERED.

The Line will commence at the Terminus of the Manchester and
Birmingham Railway at Macclesfield, and passing by the Rudyard
Reservoir to Leek, will proceed by the Churuet Valley to Consul',
thence close to Cheadle and Tean, and by Uttoxeter, Bagels Woods
and Abbots Bromley down the Blythe, to a point on the Trent
Valley Railway north of Lichfield, communicating near there with
one o►' the proposed lines from Dudley or Wolwrhamptok.
A-glance at the map will show that this will be the most direct
line for the London and Manchester traffic, uniting these two great
termini by the shortest practicable route in connexion -with existing
railways, will completely accommodate the local traffic, and throw
open several extensive' Coal fields and some thousand acres of Wood
land to Manchester, the Potteries, and other great marts of the
kingdom.

This Line is also in some of its principal features the same as that
already approved of by the Board of Trade, and partially abandoned
by the Churnet Valley Company—will not comprise more than fifty
miles of Railway, and passing through the centre of the unoccupied
part of the district, does not interfere with tke Grand Junction or
any other existing Railway. This and the proposed Line from
Crewe to Derby will also well accommodate the Potteries, giving to
that important locality a direct route to London, Birmingham, and
the South, to Liverpool and the North, and to Derby and the East.
and will alSo afford a transit for the Eastern counties traffic from
Derby to Manchester. The co-operation of almost all the principal
landowners from near Uttoxeter to near Lichfield having been ob-
tained, this portion of the line may be considered as secure.
A most influential Provisional Committee, consisting of land•
owners and manufacturers, and others locally interested, will shortly
be published. In the meantime references may be made to Matthew
Gaunt, Esq., Highflehl House, Leek ; or to Thomas Tumor, Esq.,
Abbots Bromley, near Uttoxeter.
