One of my many visits to other Towns on behalf of the National Association during the year was to Middlewich which is about 10 miles from Crewe. There historic links are with the Romans and the Normans . They have had several archaeological digs over the years. We had a guide show us round and gave us a talk on the projects that have taken place. The salt industry has existed since Roman times and in the last century the Trent and Mersey Canal was lined with the salt works .They have managed to celebrate with Canal and Salt heritage and the creation of a heritage trail. If you get on to there web site there is all the information you need about this very pleasant town. You will see from the pictures our group was shown almost all there was to see The local Church with a local quartet entertaining us, the local school as modern as you can get also a chapel, the working canal that runs through the town and of course the Council offices were all the hard work is done.
