The formation of a railway from Nottingham to Boston is, unques-
'tenably, of the greatest importance to the whole of the districts and
towns which it will connect, and will prove highly advantageous to
the manufacturing and agricultural interests. By reference to the
!tan of England, it will be seen that Boston is only about forty-eight
miles from Nottingham, while all other sea-ports, on the east coast,
are at a much greater distance from Nottingham. A very great
tritille already exists between Boston and Nottingham, which may be
increased almost to an incalculable amount when the facilities
Of railway transit are completed. The export trade from Boston is
1 ',ow comparatively limited, by the want of means of conveyance
1, ' 'rein the manufacturing districts, which this railroad will supply.
..
iloston is situate in the midst of the finest land in the kingdom;
and this part of Lincolnshire may be justly termed the garden of the
• manufacturing district of England. The produce of the whole dis-
til
4 -ct, particularly its wheat, is consumed in the large manufacturing
,snwris ; and the carriage of corn and cattle, to the great centres of
t'cPulation, will alone furnish a constant and certain source of
revenue.
i in addition to this, a large traffic will be carried along the line,
01. Manufacture goods, and in coal and lime from the Nottingham-
litPass "hire and Derbyshire coal fields, to rural districts
the which it
s, and to the shore of the German Ocean ;latter traffic is
'N, Yet
he Important
be developed, and with the cheap transit provided by this line
the article of coal will compete at a great advantage to
consumer with the present supply, which is now brought by sea from 'Newcastle.
‘4,,,; , A very considerable amount of the vast staple produce of Notting-
'Zlnis Derby,,Leughborough. Leicester, and the neighbourhood, which
, 4Z/exported to Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Germauy, and all other
..crts of the Baltic, is now conveyed by a circuitous and expensive
t ;","ttte to Hull and London, and thence, after repeated removals by
Pip or steamer, to its destination; 'whereas, on the completion of this
~ne, it would be transmitted direct to Boston, and thence to the be-
, ,rementioneci places, in much less time, and at a much less expense.
I. Boston is not only the nearest seaport town to Nottingham, but it
I„, the natuial seaport of the manufacturing towns of the whole of the
-"dland district, and it Is the most convenient, safest, and best
situated on the eastern coast, for the shipment aud transhipment of
ke
mrchandise. By recent improvements the river, or arm of the sea,
al.f,-"e cll runs through the centre of the tewn, has threeidd and
esn,,cned, thus affording means for vese 1- of from to four hun-
s4,`, toss barthem to take in and die' ::are their cargoes at the
'I so7arf-side, without risk or damage,_ an object of importance not only
4-Point ofseettiltyto the goods, but also in the saving of expense
, 14,115- incurred for lighter charges.
' ray Be nature-Of fhe country through which the line will pass is most
ii(nimble in its facilities for construction : it is nearly on a dead level.
• lons .I,st of construction will be as low as that of any line in the
ltp„g'°,ll; and the Company will not have to encounter the opposi-
. Of the owners of the land and estates through which the line will
'1
~ed, theto y being, as far as can be ascertained, most favourably dis-
, wards the undertaking.
' • ee ' will be seen that the proposed line combines all the elements of
i,trefitable railway ; it has a seaport town as one of the termini;
Imssei through a rich and productive agricultural district, to the
ec,„,t seats of manufacture and consumption, each being a certain
11,1;tr,e,e of traffic ; and it affords ready communication with the
'el7l, northern, and midland counties.
