THE object of this undertaking is to construct the most
1, direct and perfect LINE OF RAILWAY from the
i:Ltn and Port of GAINSBOROUGH, through SHEF-
6ELD, to the Station of the Midland Railway at
STERFIELD, thereby effecting a more expeditious .
economical communication between Gainsborough,
Sheffieldhe, and the Midland Counties on the one hand: and
ween Sheffield and the Metropolis on the other ; and,
EEO, to bring into immediate contact the whole of Lin-
Veshire and the Eastern Counties, with the important
Manufacturing and Mineral Districts of Sheffield, Dron-
eLd, and Unstone
rhe Line will "
th commence at Chesterfield, pass through
fietl4lPortant Mineral Districts of Unstone and Dron-
it ;through Sheffield, and thence by C Maltby,
(where
the Midland Railway,) N't histon. altby,
ra4er
nal„, bses ov
and Bawtry, to. Gainsborough, near which last_
Lincohll'ovrn it will unite with the projected Wakefield,
and Boston Railway, the promoters of which
eon • ' 'sanction and approve of the present undertaking,
beststunting, as it will in conjunction with their Line, the
tica,:tnd HIM comprehensive system of Railway commu-
ahc`nn between the Agricultural Districts of Lincoln-
far;e and the Eastern Counties, and the populous Mann-
-41,ring Towns of Yorkshire and Lancashire.
Toe distance between Chesterfield and Sheffield (and
ar"arquently all places South and South West of the
th. taer Town) will by this Line be 10 miles less than by
th! Present tedious and circuitous route via Masbrough ;
148 effecting a saving of nearly one-half of the whole
btOnee in the existing Lines of Railway communication
zeen those two Towns.
11„4,1e distance from Gainsborough to Sheffield will be
r_Liner thirty miles, which is less by several miles than by
hy other Line which has yet been proposed to unite
e
e Towns.
In fact, no shorter Line can be had ; moreover, it can-
tat be surpassed. if equalle.d, by any other in the excel-
71ey of its gradients or the lightness of the works that
RI be required in its construction.
To the Inhabitants of and Owners of Property in Lin-
colnshire, arid the Eastern Counties generally, this Rail-
teay is of paramount importance, as it will 'furnish to
m, at a greatly diminished cost, an ample supply of
14,,0_a1. of the best quality for all purposes, the Line passing
Inexhaustible
sixteen miles of its length through a rich and almost
G.?chnustible Coal Field ; whilst to the Inhabitants of
I,i'lntiborough and Boston, in part'cular, it must prove
get dY advantageous, as furnishing (along with the Wake-
Lincoln, and Boston Line) an immense accession of
Iness to the Shipping Interests of those Ports.
re
alost suerfluous o point out the gat adn-
ols,,ea of, a m
nd the necessityt which exists for a rapid and
ts-;:,P_naode of transit between the agricultural and the
thelat:aacturing districts, which will be effected by this and
co,2v. kefield, Lincoln, and Boston Railway, in the. most
Isli:;?tete and effectual manner, as the AgriculturiSts of
Cs,;4l.Nottinghanishire. Lincolnshire, and of the Eastern
tr!tiit'es, will thus he able to transmit their produce at a
1.44 Y diminished Cost, direct to the consumers. The
Di* will traverse a District which is not immediately
frs4ded with any navigable River or Canal, hence its
atenrn frorn the competition of and interference with
actiar Conveyance, and it is entirely divested of all ob.
metalrla the score of interfering with Parks and orna-
tb Th Gunds and Residences.
re,Passenger traffic,. which must necessarily come on
~,wntiit'a;'.. will be great ; this will be at once apparent
-",,nvesia-,'''enrne in mind that independently of all other
ct thlees, fourteen Daily Coaches are required to con-
anf"arornaaffic'of the District, which this Railway will
11;i,clie—late. *The well-known and extensive quarries
s'Y t Abbey and Wickerrley are in immediate pri,xi-

oelA di

bo ne ear . vicinity.

of item •

100,000 sheep are annually sent from the
