To North Staffordshire Railway Co
Stoke -on-Trent
We are trying to introduce a trade in soda from Runcorn as large quantities are used in our local Cloth Mills. However your toll from Preston Brook to Haywood Junction is 2s 3d per ton for the 55 miles. Could you not fix a lower rate as the Staffs & Worcs Canal charge 1s for the 46 1/2 miles from there to Stourport?
