PROPOSAL FOR FORMING A BUILDING UNION ,
"THE ROYAL. ROCK FERRY. •
TO BE CALLED
" THE GREENBANK FIELD COMPANY."
IT is well known to those who are acquainted with the
Cheshire Banks of the River Mersey, that for some time
past, considerable anxiety has been evinced and great diffi-
culty experienced in procuring houses, or lodgings, at Rock
Ferry.
The pleasant situation of this newly established Ferry, and
the successful efforts made to render it commodious and ele-
gant, have attracted public attention, and led many persons
to regard it as one of the most agreeable places of residence
in the neighbourhood of Liverpool.
It is sheltered from the N.W. wind by a range of Hills
which separate it from the Sea, and has a milder and more
salubrious Air than the rerries lying between it and the
mouth of the River; it is, consequently, preferred, not only
for Summer Quarters, but,fue,a permanent abode.
Induced by these circumstances, the proprietor of two of
the most eligible pieces of Laud at the Rock Ferry proposes
to fOrm a Joint Stock Company, for the purpose of supplying
this want of accommodation now so generally felt. Both these
pieces of Land are Freehold, and lie to the North of the
Hotel, within three minutes walk of the landing-place,
adjoining a road which runs direct from the Ferry to the
Chester Turnpike-road.
The first Lot rises gradually from the River, to the height
of thirty feet above high water mark, and contains about
26,000 square yards, with a river frontage of about 250 yards,
and a frontage to the road of about 20U ; it is well planted,
formed, and drained, has a supply of excellent Spring Water,
and is fenced from the River by a substantial Sea Wall,
along which there is a delightful Promeuade. This is a
desirable site for detached Villas, as it codirriands,.in exten-
sive and pleasing view of the Shipping. arid Town.of Liver-
pool, with the Village of Waterloo in the North, and on the
South the broad winding of the River towards Ru,ncnrn, with
the. Cheshire Hills in the distance..
The Title Deeds of the Property secure, along tire adjoin-
ing banks of the' river, from Limeltirti-laife to'Nekv Ferry,
the erection of such Houses only as will treierveltte beauty
and respectability of the neighbithrlroo&l ::%.•
Behind this Lot, and separated froth it by; thakilevr road
which leads from Rock Ferry towards .Tramne're, lies the
second. Lot offered. This is along and, valuable slip of Land,
containing about 13,000 square yards; havitig a frontage of
about 240 yards, and a depth varying from forty to seventy
yards, and is exceedingly well adapted for a crescentof mode-
rately rented Houses, giving all of them a• good view of the
River.

The Land contains abundance of ClaY for Brick, which may
he manufactured at a cost of 19s. per thousand. ''Stourton
Quarry is situate within a shOrt distance.
The Owner of this Property has been frequently solicited
to build upon it, on terms which would amply repay him, if
he were not fully engaged in other business.
The following advantages would arise ,bY a Joint Stock
Company undertaking the erection of these tritit'h-wanted
Houses upon a general and haraionious clan, unii‘eihe direc-
tion of a skilful Architect to be appointed by the Shareholders:
The Property could be purchased at a much less price than
in separate Lots.—The Contracts for the .Buildiugs might
also be made nearly 15 per cent. lower than for single Houses,
and would thus secure to the Shareholders a gdod and sub-
stantial investment in a Freehold Property which is gradually
increasing in value ; and also give to those Gentlemen who
desire residences at this favourite Ferry an. opportunity of
suiting themselves on reasonable terms.
Capital £40,000, in 400 Shares or-£loo each ; Five per
cent. ty be paid when the Shares are altotted:the remaining
Calls not to be made oftener than threematitha Between each
Call, and not to exceed Five percent-at any onetime.
It should be understood, that a Transfer Deed may be so
formed as to give to each Shareholder a County Vote.
Applications for Shares to be made •to Mr. THOMAS
COGLAN, Exchange-street East; or to Mr. JOSEPH KING,
Exchange-buildings.
