Trent Valley Railway
Company

:on-upon-Trent

Commencing at a point northward of the Oakley station, on the
Birmingham and Derby portion of the Great Midlands, this railway
will unite with the Trent lieu, and thence proceed to the towns of
Walsall and Wolverhampton, joining the Grand Junction Railway
and the contemplated lines in the direction of Dudley, Bilston, Kid-
derminster, Stourbridse, Stourport, Bewdley, Tenbury. Leominster
and Hereford.

Whilst by these means a communication of great local importance
will be opened between Nottingham and Derby, Burton, Lichfield
Stafford, the i'otteries, and Shrewsbury,—the more important public
necessity r,-111 he supplied of bringing the producing districts of Lin-
colnshire and Cambridgeshire and the ports of the East of England
Into direct contact, by a continuous railway route, with the great
mineral districts of South Staffordshire, the Bristol Channel, and the
pt,rts of South Wales.
The length of railway to be constructed will not exceed thirty
miles, and the distance saved between the towns contiguous to or
beyond the respective termini will be about fifteen.
The country presents no peculiar engineering feature. The line
interferes with no ornamental property, and has the support of the
principal landed proprietors.
In the allotment of Shares provision will be made for landowners
and other local interests, and the residue will be issued to the public,
being shareholders in the Trent Valley Railway Company.
Copies of the Prospectus, and forms of application for Shares, with
a map of the proposed line, may be obtained on and after Monday, at
the Company's offices, 68, George-street, Manchester; from Mr.
Birch, at Lichfield; or at the offices of the Trent Company, 11,
Bridge-street, Westminster.
