"Report of the Knaresbrough Rail-way Committee" by the Knaresbrough Rail-Way Committee is a historical document promoting a shift from canal construction to railway development in the Knaresbrough area during the 1800s. The report shows how the region thought about economic growth. The Knaresbrough Rail-Way Committee explains the reasons a canal wouldn't work and proposes a railway as a better solution. They then outline the advantages it offers for local industries like lead and flax, plus how it will help move important goods such as coal and farming products. The authors provide economic forecasts and cost estimates. The overall goal of the book is to push for the building of the railway. They aim for a stronger local economy through better transportation.
