This Railway has been projected to secure to Manchester and the
flourishing, manufacturing district of Lancashire a direct communica,
tion with Newcastle-upon-Tyne and the important ports and districts
in the north-eastern part of the kingdom.
The Railway is intended to commence at the Richmond Branch of
the Great North of England Railway, and to proceed by way of
Middleham, Kettlewell, and Gargrave, to a point on the extension of
the Leeds and Bradford Railway, between Skipton and Colne, with
such additions thereafter as may effect the most direct communisation
with Manchester.

This project will effect several objects of great public importance.
It will supply the most direct and shortest railway communication
between the manufacturing district of Lancashire and the ports of
ewca.stie, Hartlepool, and the free port of the Tees ; effecting a
very large saving in distance, and consequently in the time of transit.
Again, this undertaking will afford the advantages of railway
communication to an extensive district at present wholly destitute of
both railways and canals, and supply coals from the Durham coal
fields to the district on its route.

Iron, stone, lead, blue lime-stone, and flags, are found in great
abundance on the line of the intended Railway, which will largely
develop the mineral resources of the district.
