Description

LS A 24.5 x 19.7cm three page letter written in ink, signed "Geo. Stephenson", with center gatefold and integral address leaf on the verso, dated "Tapton House, April 7th, 41[1841]". In good condition, with fold splits to the envelope wrapper affecting the last page of the letter, expected age wear and toning to the address leaf. Address leaf includes remains of the seal and what is possible a rare Penny Black pl 11 with Maltese cross cancel. The letter reads: "Gentlemen, having understood that Mr Bromley is about to take your railway through our land near the lime kilns, I beg to state that you are quite at liberty to go through any part that will suit your purpose best. Allow me to add that I shall have no objection in joining you in making the said line from our kilns towards Alderwasley, but in view of carrying it forwards to Hotstandwellbridge as I think I could supply all Mr. Hurst`s and others land in that district with cheap lime. You could then join me in carrying on the line from your works to Hotstandwellbridge or I would do it myself and pay Mr Hurst a rent for the land required for the line. I am quite sure that it would be a material advantage to Mr. H, yourself and us. I have further to inform you that I shall be ready to supply you with limestone in the course of a month at 1 shilling and 10 pence per ton, put into boats ( ) at our kilns. I shall be at the lime kilns on Monday next and I shall be happy if you can meet me there on that day to talk over the subject of this letter. I am Yours truly Geo. Stephenson". George Stephenson built the first railway line in the world for steam locomotives. The "lime kilns" in the letter are the kilns which had been built by Benjamin Outram and Samuel Beresford Bullbridge near Ambergate, in order to process limestone from their quarry at Crich. Stephenson had discovered deposits of coal at Clay Cross and realised that burning lime would provide a use for the slack which otherwise would go to waste. He leased Cliff Quarry at Crich and built eight lime kilns beside the railway. The site is now calles the "Crich Tramway Village".
