Winsford salt mine -

Winsford Rock Salt Mine is Britain's oldest working mine. It lies almost 200m under the Cheshire countryside and has a fascinating History. It also hides some surprising facts. For example, did you know that towns around Winsford like Northwich, Middlewich and Nantwich, all take their names from salt production, with 'Wych' often meaning 'Brine Town'? check this place out it was a laff lol we went for a UE as it caught my eye driving past so we did lol good result till the security almost caught us lol Here are my pix         The conver     The shaft        Need to visit down the shaft  The salt mine conver

yup they ship it in from overseas lol
Possibly from the Salt mines in Ireland Dont see why they dont just get some from boulby. They can bring out 26 tonnes ever 2 mins so cant see there being that much of a shortage lol 1974 BBC Nuclear Wartime broadcast - "Remember there is nothing to be gained by trying to get away!"
