The Weaver Hall Museum (previously the Salt Museum)

Weaver Hall Museum and Workhouse is the new name for the Salt Museum in London Road, Northwich. This will allow the Lion Salt Works in nearby Marston to develop as the main salt-related visitor attraction for the area. Weaver Hall Museum will uncover many of the other stories relating to the fascinating history of Cheshire as well as exploring the workhouse history of this imposing Victorian building.

Until May 2010, the museum was known as the Salt Museum. There has been a museum on this site since 1981. Previously the museum was located in Northwich Library in the town centre. The first Salt Museum opened its doors in 1885.

The museum is now housed within the old Northwich Union Workhouse building and has displays about the building's history as a home for Victorian Paupers.

There is an exciting changing exhibition programme, along with special events, workshops and activities. Follow the links below for more information on the Weaver Hall Museum:
