Cheshire Folk Tales

This fascinating collection of 200 archive images from the collection held at Nantwich Museum provides a rare insight into the changing history of the town and its surrounding area over the last century. Each image is accompanied by a detailed caption, bringing the past to life and describing many aspects of life in the historic market town, including chapters on work and the once-thriving salt industry, leisure and local events, people and pastimes, providing a vital record of vanished vistas and past practices.

This book will awaken nostalgic memories of a bygone time for those who worked or lived in this part of Cheshire.
