Winsford
Winsford is a town in Cheshire that has a population around the 59,000 mark and is twinned with Deuil-la-Barre in France; it also has ‘friendship links’ with Nieder-Eschbach in Germany. Industrialised during the 18th century, it was a centre for salt mining.
The town has history going back to the 13th century, but really became a centre for pottery production during the 1700s. It was during this time that salt production became hugely important, and the nearby River Weaver as well as canals served to transport it to larger cities.
In the modern era, Winsford was designated a New Town in the 1970s, and experienced much expansion as a result. Still a major salt producer, retail is a main sector these days. Some local landmarks include St Chad’s church, Stone Cross, the Winsford Flashes, and Brunner Guildhall.
