English salt mine


English salt mine

So on down the Trent and Mersey to Middlewhich, taking on water and supplies - poor moorings though, almost impossible to get near the bank. One thing the town is famous for is the production of salt, which can be seen lying around in great white heaps.
Here we left the Trent and Mersey and trun on to the 'Shroppie', at a very busy junction, made more interesting by the first lock being a boats length round a blind turn under a bridge.
