This absorbing collection of over 150 archive images documents some
of the major events and changes that have occurred in Northwich
over the years, mainly from the end of the nineteenth century
through to local government reforms in 1973. Removing the
devastation left by the collapsing salt mines began in old
Northwich when the Local Board of Health and Urban District Council
undertook one of the largest slum clearance projects outside a
major city. The consequent building of new estates saw the town
expand into the Weaver Valley. From aerial views of the town,
Victorian postcards and archive snapshots, each intriguing picture
records what life was like in the town during the last 150 years.
Images include scenes of flooding and subsidence, marching bands,
shops, pubs, miners and even a visiting Liverpudlian band in 1963 -
The Beatles. J. Brian Curzon is a prolific writer on Cheshire
history. Each image in this volume is accompanied by detailed and
informative text detailing the rich history of Northwich.
