Description
In 1986 the Lion Salt Works closed after the collapse of the West African salt market. It was purchased by Vale Royal Borough Council to prevent its demolition. A charitable trust has been established and a project is now underway to restore the site as a working industrial museum, demonstrating the production of salt by the ancient method of open pan evaporation.
A Stage 1 pass of £4.96m was given to the project by the HLF. The Trust is now seeking to raise £2m in match funding to submit a Stage 2 bid.
