Middlewich Salt

It all gets a bit industrial around Middlewich and Sandbach (Middlewich is a canal town and the Trent and Mersey canal which now heads eastwards skirts Sandbach).

"Wich" means salt or salt-town as far as I can remeber. Cheshire is full of salt-towns and the white mass to the left of this photo is a hill-range of salt in Middlewich.
