PROSPECTUS.

THIS Company has been formed for the purpose of
constructing a direct line of railway from Dudley to
Madeley, Broseley, and Iron Bridge, at or near which
place it is proposed to form a Junction with the projected
Shrewsbury, Worcester and Crewe Union Railway, and
it will also connect the Trent Valley Midlands and Grand
Junction, and Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Stour
Valley Railways.

The Line will open an immediate communication be-
tween the densely populated and manufacturing Districts
of South Staffordshire, Dudley, Stourbridge, and Bir-
mingham, and the vast mining and manuf,cturing, and
agricultural Districts of Salop, comprehending Madeley,
iLoseley, Coalbrookdale. Coalport, Iroubridge, Much
Wenlock and Bridgnorth.
_ .

It will Z. rd Earlway communication for these tl riving
and important parts of the Country which are at present
entirely destitute of any Railway, or other direct means of
communication with each other.

It is well known that the Shropshire District pro luces
an immense quantity of pig iron which is manufatrured
with the South Staffordshire Iron in the South Stafford-
shire, Dudley, Stourbridge. and Birmingham Districts,
and is at present conveyed thither by water carriage by an
extremely circuitous, eapensire, and dilatory routes, great
portion or the locality of the line is also celebrated for its
manufactories of porcelain, china, pottery, pipes, tiles,
and bricks; carpets, and other products, for the convey-
ance of which as well as pig iron and for passenger traffic ;
this Railway is much needed and will afford the most per-
fect means of transit ; there is no doubt that the pas-
senger traffic, independently of the great arnourt of mine-
ral and goods traffic, will alone render this undertaking a
highly profitable investment.

tlie Company propose to make such branches and
extensions of the line as may be thought expedient to give
the most ample railway accommodgtion for the Country
which the line is proposed to traverse, and the capital of
the Company, is estimated with a view to such Branches
and extensions.

The line is supported by a large and influential portion
of the landed, mining and manfacturing interest of the
district.

The conntry is gt neally peculiarly favourable fur the
construction of the proposed Line.
