MenuNorthwich, Cheshire
Northwich is a town in Cheshire. It lies on the Cheshire Plain, at the confluence of the rivers Weaver and Dane. It is one of the famed salt towns, the "Cheshire Wiches", along with Nantwich and Middlewich. The area has been exploited for its salt pans since Roman times. The Romans called it Condate. Two swing bridges, Hayhurst Bridge built (1898) and Town Bridge (1899), cross the Weaver. The former Northwich Union Workhouse (1837) now houses the Weaver Hall Museum. The town is within the council area of Cheshire West and Chester.
