The area around Northwich has been famous for its salt since Roman times.[2] Then the town was known as Condate. Mines dug under Northwich began collapsing in the late 19th century. Buildings began to disappear as they sank into the mines below.[2] Several of the deep mines have since been filled in under a £28 million project finished in 2007.
