A quarter of a mile further on, we shall arrive at
THE NEWTON JUNCTION STATION.
If the reader is occupied in tracing the progress of the carriages, he had better turn to page 28, on which commences the Grand Junction Line. In the mean time, as it is possible the carriages may stop here, we shall give a hasty glance along the road to Manchester.
Proceeding towards Manchester, then, we cross the Sandymain's Embankment, and arrive at Newton Bridge. The railroad here is at an elevation of 40 feet from the road below; the bridge which carries it across this valley has 4 arches, each of 30 feet span. After passing this, we arrive at
THE NEWTON BRIDGE STATION,
distant from Liverpool 16 miles, from Manchester rather more. We shall notice the extinct borough of Newton when we return to the Newton Junction Station, as it is not a part of our present plan to notice the towns on the Liverpool and Manchester line. At the above station is the Newton Hotel and Post Office. Half a mile further on is
PARK-SIDE STATION.
This station will always be deemed worthy of attention, as here the late Mr. Huskisson received the dreadful injury which terminated in his death.
