High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Salt Museum, Northwich, in Cheshire is the only museum in the United Kingdom dedicated to salt. It commemorates an industry that dates back to Roman times. The museum is currently located in the old workhouse, situated on the A533. It is a Grade II listed building. A salt museum has been in existence for over 120 years. It was set up by Thomas Ward and John Brunner, two local salt proprietors, who felt Northwich needed something to explain the town's importance as the 'salt capital of the world'. Ward and Brunner donated the library and museum to the town in 1889. The museum originally shared a building with Northwich library but mine subsistence caused the building to collapse so a new library and museum was built in 1909. This building still houses Northwich library and the title over the door remains.
