The Salt Museum |
Britain's Only Salt Museum
Cheshire has been a centre of the salt industry for some 2,000 years and today it is the only place in Britain where salt is produced on a large scale. The Salt Museum, housed in the old Northwich Workhouse, tells the fascinating story of this unique industrial heritage. Videos, models, old photographs, paintings and traditional working tools will help the whole family discover a completely new side to something we all take for granted. Mining, working conditions, subsidence, transport history and much more will come alive.Educational Service
A tailored service is provided to all groups, which may include guided walks, hands on science and living history sessions. Groups as varied as Cub Scouts, schools, WI and universities enjoy a visit to the Salt Museum. Ask the Community and Education Officer for details.Facilities
