Britain's What's On Event Guide
Murgatroyd's Brine Pumps
Heritage Open Day: Murgatroyd's Brine Pumps are the last brine pumps on their original hand-dug shaft in the UK. Murgatroyd's shaft led to the first discovery of the rock salt beds under Middlewich and gave an impetus to the early chemical industry in the town. Visitors will be given a full introduction to the site and its importance in providing seed chemicals for the wider industry.
