These Collieries, which are in full and profitable operation,
are held, subject to easy Royalties, under different Leases,
for various long terms, from Sir .S. R. Glynne, Bart., Admi-
ral Halides, and others, in all of which many years are yet
to come and unexpired. and the Lands comprised in them
embrace a very large extent of country.
The Beds of Coal range in thickness from 12 feet to one
yard, are of excellent quality, and are almost without limit
as to quantity. The recent produce has been after the rate
of 50,000 Tons per Annum, or thereabouts, but a much
larger quantity might easily be raised.
The situation of the Collieries is admirable, having good
Turnpike Roads connecting them with the city of Chester
and all the neighbouring towns in the Principality. They
also lie within an easy distance of the River Dee, and by
means of recently-made and well-appointed Railways, are
connected with excellent Shipping Wharfs at Connah's
Quay and the Queen's Ferry, on the banks of that River,
whence Coals are shipped to Chester, Ireland, the Isle of
Man, and along the English and Welsh Coasts. At Connah's
Quay Wharf, Vessels drawing thirteen feet of water can take
in their cargoes at any state of the tide.
By a recent Survey and Valuation of the Machinery,
Stock, &c. &c., the Capital alone employed in these great
Works amounts, exclusive of the Beneficial Interest in the
many valuable Leases under which the same are carried on,
to nearly £50,000.
The present Sale is ordered by the Trustees of the late
William Rigby, Esq. to enable them to fulfil certain Trusts
which now devolve upon them.
The only other Proprietors with the said Trustees are John
Rigby, Esq., of Sandon Terrace, Liverpool, and the Repre-
sentatives of the late William Hancock, Esq., of Hawarden,
by whom the Works are now carried on in the well-known
firm of Rigbys and Hancocks.
