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.
Page Elements
In the left elements you can make links to the Project Team, link to web sites about the Lion Salt Works and go directly to the video links on Youtube. The setting of the site within the Marston Conservation Area is shown at the bottom of the page with a labels list to help you go directly to specific parts of the site. The Video Bar takes you to associated Youtube Channels which feature events at the Lion salt Works or related salt projects.
The Enabling Works essentially made the site safe, removed contaminated materials such as asbestos and dismantled Stove House 5 in anticipation of it being rebuilt in Phase 2 some time during 2010.
