The Estate is beautifully wooded, and there are three very excellent Stone Quarries at present opened therein, and from Borings recently made, it has been ascertained to contain VALUABLE BEDS OF COAL.

The South Yorkshire Railway intersects this Estate from East to West, forming a Junction between the Great Northern Railway at Doncaster, and the Midland Railway at Swinton from which latter place it is only distant about two Miles

 

The Minerals in both Brinsworth and Denaby are- well worth the attention of individual Capitalists, or of a Joint Stock Company, as the demand is greatly increasing and a ready transit is afforded by the River Dun and the Canals communicating therewith, and by the Midland the South Yorkshire and the Great Northern Railways.
