Middlewich
Middlewich was a salt town during the Roman and medieval periods. Historically it is notable for finds of Stone Age tools, weapons and Roman pottery.
The town is at the junction of the Trent and Mersey Canal with a branch of the Shropshire Union Canal - a good centre for fishing, boating and recreation amidst rich agricultural land. The historic buildings in the town are mostly of brick. The sandstone parish church is one of the three great 'salt churches' financed by Cheshire's medieval brine-boiling salt industry.
