Background to this blog


The Lion Salt Works is about to begin a programme of restoration costing £7m. We want to tell you how the work is carried out, why it is being done, who is funding it and who are making it happen.
There are links to other web sites, YouTube videos where you can find out more about this important industrial monument, which is protected as a designated Scheduled Monument ...
but this will be a live site, updated weekly, or as things happen.
Because the salt works will become a construction site, access will be limited. In this blog we will take you up close to the work in words, photographs and video to describe how the restoration work is carried out.
Subscribe to the blog to follow the restoration work and see a derelict open pan salt works brought back to life as an industrial museum in the heart of Cheshire.
