Hereford Railway, share ticket no.25, 1829, black printing on vellum, red wax seal on silk at bottom, a little foxing, very fine and scarce.

Incorporated in 1826 for a horse operated tramway, which opened in 1829. This railway along with others was purchased by the Newport, Abergavenny and Hereford Railway, which later amalgamated with the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway in 1860. Initially named the 'West Midland', it's direct competition with the Great Western was avoided in the unification of the two companies.
