A well-preserved copy of a rare and impressive plan. Benjamin Thompson's survey plan of the first railway to cross Britain, and the third to be built after the Stockton-Darlington (1825) and Liverpool-Manchester (1830). At the time of the opening of England's first public steam-powered railway from Stockton to Darlington there began the plan for a project of national significance: the connection of England's seas by rail. This great project, completed in tandem by the Leeds-Hull and Newcastle-Carlisle railways, had 'historical significance which [Stockton-Darlington] could scarcely claim' (Tomlinson 191). Originally planned as a horse-drawn wagon way, the line was first proposed in 1825, with two rival plans by George Stephenson and mining engineer and pit owner Benjamin Thompson. It was Thompson's plan, which was a quarter of a mile longer than Stephenson's, that would ultimately be approved by parliament in the session of April 1828. In the following months, Thomas Oswald Blackett and John Studholme surveyed the Newcastle and Carlisle ends of the finalised plan respectively. This hand-coloured lithographic map records the plan as it appeared in this later form. The scheme was not without its problems, issues with the levels and the obstruction of the project by certain landowners meant construction did not begin until March 1830. A superb piece of early railwayana. Tomlinson, 'The North Eastern Railway', 191-195.
