Winsford

Winsford is a town in the county of Cheshire, North West England. It lies south of Northwich on the River Weaver. It grew around the salt mining industry after the river was canalised in the eighteenth century, allowing freight to be conveyed northwards to the Port of Runcorn on the River Mersey. Winsford is split into two neighbourhoods: Over on the western side of the River Weaver and Wharton on the eastern side.
