WINSFORD

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 733 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: WIL-YAK
WINSFORD , an urban
district
  in the
Northwich
  parliamentary division of Cheshire, England, on the river Weaver, 6 m. S. of
Northwich
 , on the London & North-Western railway and the Cheshire lines. Pop. (1901) 10,382. In the town, which is only second to Northwich in this respect, large quantities of
salt
  are raised and conveyed to
Liverpool
  for exportation; being shipped in flats down the Weaver, which has been rendered navigable by an elaborate
system
  of locks.
Rock
 -
salt
  is procured, as well as that obtained from the brine-pools. Boat-building is an important accompanying industry, and more than half a million tons of salt are shipped annually. Owing to the pumping of the brine, large tracts of
land
  have been submerged, and there is thus a constant danger to houses. The iron
bridge
  across the Weaver, which was built in 1856, had to be raised thrice in the following twenty-six years. The town has received much benefit from philanthropists, Sir Joseph Verdin providing a technical school, and Sir John
Brunner
  a guildhall and other buildings.
