Morgan, William
The Chester and Holyhead Railway and Its Prospects
Transcribed from the 1849? H. Hughes edition by David Price
"The Chester and Holyhead Railway and Its Prospects" by William Morgan is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book discusses the significance of the Chester and Holyhead Railway, which links England to Ireland, particularly highlighting its construction challenges and monumental achievements. Morgan, a shareholder in the venture, outlines the railway's potential impact on social, political, and economic landscapes both in England and Ireland. In this publication, Morgan emphasizes the railway's groundbreaking engineering, including its impressive crossings such as the Menai Straits and the river Conway. He predicts a substantial benefit to both passenger and freight traffic, positioning the railway as a pivotal artery for transporting goods from Ireland to England, and facilitating trade with the Americas and other parts of the world. By detailing the growing influx of visitors to North Wales and the potential for expanding tourism, Morgan paints an optimistic picture of the railway's future, urging shareholders to hold onto their investments as the completion of the line approaches.
