Bore FERRY is situated a short distance above Liverpool, on
the Cheshire shore.- Besides the advantage of its conven.iint
Quay, and the facility afforded for Shipping and Landing -Ter;
riages, Horses, Cattle, &c., at any time of the tide, thejjarls,
Chiltenhim,
Holyhead, Chester, and all parts of the Principality of %Vales,
pass within a few hundred yards of the Ferry.
The Hotel is beautifully situated on high ground, command-
ing an uninterrupted view up and down the River Mersey, with
the Shipping in the Liierpool Docks, and the Town in the back
ground.
The judicious and handsome manner in which the neighbour-
ing property is planted and ornarr.ented, together with the Ma-
rine Parade of half a mile in length, (now nearly finished,)
points this out as one of the most attrartive and fashionable
Watering Places in the immediate neighbourhood of Liverpool.
A punctual steam communication will be established every
half hour to George's Pier, also one at stated times each day to a
new pier now.on the point of completion at the Potteries, Toxtet
park, the advantages thus presented to the inhabitants of the
extensive agricultural tract of country behind the Royal Rock
Ferry are obvious.
The projected South or Pottery Pier will admit Steam-
boats to land or receive Passengers, Cattle, Carriages, &c., at
almost any time of the tide, without the risk and annoyance of
a reshipment in email boats; and, by means of this terry the
inhabitants in general willthushaveanopportunityofcrossing the
River Mersey without the inconvenience and danger (particu-
larly to children) of passing along the Docks, and avoid what
has been so serious an objection in crossing the river—the bus-
tle and confusion in embarking and landing at low water on the
quays at the centre of the town.
Lookingat this undertaking in the light of an investment, it
is only necessary to direct the attention of the public to the fact
of the rapidly increasing growth of the town of Livrrpool in
wealth and pop.ulation, rendering a watering place in the imme-
diate vicinity, invested with the local beauties and advantages
of the Rock Ferry, an object of great public interest and impor-
tance, and thus holding out to the Shareholders in this Scheme
