The Lion Salt Works is the last open pan salt works in Cheshire, England. It evaporated natural brine to make white crystal salt. The works is a Scheduled Monument set in a Conservation Area and was bought by Vale Royal Borough Council in 1986 to prevent its demolition. A charitable Trust was established in 1993. The site is now owned and managed by Cheshire West and Chester Council. Restoration works started on 27 July 2009 with an Enabling Works programme funded by the HLF and CW&CC.

WEEK 9 - Day 33 Roof Trusses almost Down - Internal Works
Having had a couple of weeks of dry weather it was back to rain from lunch time, a soft drizzle with grey low cloud. Uncomfortable for those completing the dismantling of the roof, and dark for those within the pan houses and stove houses. But it dried up and stayed warm for the afternoon, so work continued quickly. Our working scaffold has itself started to be dismantled, working back from the east gable. The traget is to have all the roof timbers dismantled by end of work tomorrow, Wednesday.
