Housing spans traditional terraces, mid-20th-century estates, and newer developments around the town centre and waterfront.
History
Northwich has Roman origins and was historically one of the key salt-mining centres in Britain.
Salt extraction shaped the local economy for centuries and caused land subsidence issues, which were gradually stabilised through the 20th century.
The town’s industrial heritage remains central to its identity, with salt, chemicals, canals, and engineering playing major roles.
