Weaver Hall Museum and Workhouse

The Weaver Hall Museum and Workhouse, Northwich, Cheshire, records the social, social and mechanical history of west Cheshire. It was once in the past known as the Salt Museum, mirroring its initial spotlight on the historical backdrop of salt extraction, a neighborhood industry going back to Roman occasions. The gallery was renamed Weaver Hall Museum and Workhouse in 2010 as its transmit presently stretches out to cover the more extensive history of the territory and furthermore the historical backdrop of the building itself as a previous workhouse.
The historical center is in the old Northwich Union workhouse, dating from 1839 and arranged on the A533 street. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as an assigned Grade II recorded building. The first salt historical center was set up in the nineteenth century by Thomas Ward and John Brunner, two neighborhood salt proprietors, who felt the town required something to clarify its status as the then "salt capital of the world". Ward and Brunner gave the library and gallery to the town in 1887.
