Lion Salt Works project blog
The
Lion Salt Works is a historic brine salt making site that is being
restored and transformed into a unique heritage attraction. Led by
Cheshire West and Chester Council, this £8million project will see
the site reborn as a fascinating destination for tourists, day
visitors and families and a valued resource for local communities,
businesses and heritage interest groups.
Located in the village of Marston, close to the town of Northwich, the site lies adjacent to the Trent and Mersey Canal and is close to the historic Anderton Boat Lift. A substantial part of the site is a Scheduled Monument.
Restoration work has now started on the site, with an expected opening in spring 2014. The Lion Salt Works is currently closed to the public.
