OSWESTRY, ELLESMERE, and WHITCHURCH RAILWAY, a railway chiefly in Salop, but partly across a wing of Flint; from a junction with the Oswestry and Newtown railway at Oswestry, 20 miles north-eastward, past Ellesmere, to Whitchurch. It was authorized in 1861, on a capital of £150,000 in share, and £50,000 in loans; was opened from Ellesmere to Whitchurch in 1863, and from Oswestry to Ellesmere in 1864; and was incorporated with four other railways in 1864, to constitute the Cambrian railway system.
