Northwich

One of the two swing bridges that carry roads across the River Weaver at Northwich in Cheshire. Many of the buildings in Northwich resemble the tudor style. This is because the salt mining in the area causes as great deal of subsidence, so many of the buildings are of timber frame construction, with brick panels. The buildings have jacking points and their alignment can be adjusted to compensate for any ground movement, so that the buildings remain level.

Boats can reach the River Weaver from the parallel Trent and Mersey Canal by means of Anderton Lift.
