Title
Links Encroachment
Description
This broadside, entitled 'Links Encroachment' and a reprint of the 21st June 1856 edition of the <i>Aberdeen Herald</i>, refers to a dispute between two rival railway company directors, James Adam and John Duncan. Duncan desired to create an Aberdeen to Peterhead and Fraserburgh railway line, whilst Adam wanted a Formartine and Buchan line. The broadside dates to 1856, a year of fierce debates over the future of the railways. Permission was only granted for the construction of a line in 1858, and was awarded to Adam. Duncan's line was particularly controversial for it desired to be built into the area known as the Links. Duncan had tried to begin construction before the inhabitants of the Links had discussed the issue. This caused uproar amongst the Links' inhabitants, particularly as Duncan was required to follow parliament's say on the matter before beginning construction himself. <a href=" Wx1ZSI6ImJyb2Fkc2lkZSBsaW5rcyIsIm9wZXJhdG9yIjoiMSIsImZ1enp5UHJlZml4TGVuZ3RoIjoiNSIsImZ1enp5TWluU2ltaWxhcml0eSI6MC44LCJtYXhTdWdnZXN0aW9ucyI6IjUiLCJhbHdheXNTdWdnZXN0IjpudWxsfX0&pg=2&WINID=1651221655268#k3Ar0frSoJYAAAGASx779w/98079" target="_blank">This</a> broadside details the matter.
