As part of Cheshire’s Heritage Open Days 2012 the Lion Salt
Works was one of a number of sites open across the region on the weekend of the
9th, 10th and 11th of September.
Visitors were shown round the site and given talks by Chris
Hewitson, the Project Archaeologist and Bernhard Talbot, the site manager for
Wates Construction.
Visitors were able to walk around the site and a museum display
was located in the ground floor of the Red Lion Inn.
The open day was an opportunity for people to visit the site
but also for people to come and share their memories of the works. We had
visitors who had worked on the site, who remembered the site when they were
children and those who had lived in the local area including the Salt Barge pub
across the street. We hope to capture these memories as part of the Salt
Memories – Oral History Project.
