PROSPECTUS OF THE EGREMONT AND LISCARD
JOINT STOCK LAND, BRICKMAKING, AND
BUILDING COMPANY.
CAPITAL, £30,000, IN 5000 SHARES OF £lO tActi.
rIpHE Property consists of upwards of 41,000 square yards of
AL Land, situate opposite the Liverpool Northern Docks, on
an eminence a little northward of the Egremont Hotel and
Pier, in Liscard, and having a direct line of f • ita;..,,e of up-
wards of 600 yards to a road of 16 yards .e, which runs
parallel with (and only a narrow field's.brea, h of) the shore of
the Mersey, and commanding (from its ele • tion) unobstructed
views up and down the river and of the 4, rounding country, is,
it is presumed, admirably adapted for .e erection of Marine
Villas.

The Estate is Freehold, and has a reserved right of a Car-
riage and Foot Road down to the shore where there is a tine
gravel beach, well suited for Seabathing, and from its contiguity
to the established Ferry of Egremont, and the projected Fer-
ries, (the Liscard and Alostyn,) a punctual steam communica-
tion with Liverpool (which is only distant about one mile) may
be relied upon.
The pure and salubrious air of this part of the Cheshire coast,
and its advantageous position as "a watering place, render this
scite at once a desirable retreat for the private gentleman, the
valetudinarian, and the man of business; advantages which will
be peculiarly obvious to the rapidly increasing population of
Liverpool and its numerous visitors.
The owner of this Estate has the right of getting stone (free
from any charge) from a quarry in the immediate neighbour-
hood, and there is a deep stratum of Brick Clay on the Land,
of an excellent quality, with an abundant supply of sand and
water; and it is
.proposed to cast the clay immediately and make
as many bricks in the course of the summer as will be sufficient
for the erection of the proposed buildings, thereby avoiding the
nuisance ever attendant upon the making of this article, and at
once effecting a great saving of expense and loss in carting. and
breakage. As it is a well known fact that the profits arising
from brickmaking are very great where a rapid consumption
can be guaranteed, and as Coals can be obtained here at a low
rate, it is presumed that this Company will realize a profit from
this branch of the undertaking which will alone repay, them the
cost price of the land.
-The,whole..gf,the above valuable property is offered for the
sum of £l3, MO, and it .is determined to form a Joint-Stock.
Company, with a proposed Capital of i.:50,000, in 5000 Shares
of £lO each, for effecting the purchase of the Land, and for
making Bricks, and erecting Villas; but should it be hereafter
determined upon to sell out any considerable portion of the land
in lots to suit the convenience of purchasers, in preference to
this Company erecting the whole of the proposed buildings, not
one-half of the above capital may ever be required.
The conditions of the Company are—
That the Capital is to be £50,000, in £5OOO Shares of £lO
each, and to be called " The Egremont and Lzscard Joint Stock
