The act of parliament provides, that on the completion of the side-cut, a private railroad of about six hundred yards in length, running from the Duke of Norfolk's Coal Yard, in the parish of Handsworth, to the southern termination of the side-cut, should become public, the company making compensation to the owners and occupiers of the land through which the railroad passes, and to all persons who will suffer damage thereby. They are likewise to keep all the roads in the township of Tinsley in repair, which had been formerly done by the River Dunn Company.

This canal, by opening a communication between the River Dunn and Sheffield, is of incalculable benefit to that place, by the facilities it affords of transmitting articles of its extensive and important manufactories, and also of the coal and iron-stone which abound in the neighbourhood; and of supplying it with all articles of domestic consumption.
