Lion Salt Works in Cheshire voted UK's best heritage project

Date added: 12/08/2016






The Lion Salt Works in Cheshire has been voted the UK's best heritage project in this year's National Lottery Awards.

The museum opened last June after a 30-year campaign to save the UK's last open pan salt making site in Cheshire. 

A four-year restoration turned the former dilapidated structure into a museum, preserving a part of the country's industrial history through interesting and fun displays, including a light and sound show.


TV chef Ainsley Harriott will presented staff at the museum with the award in a ceremony on Wednesday.

Almost 6,000 people voted for Lion Salt Works in this year's National Lottery Awards - the annual search to find the UK's favourite Lottery funded projects - to win the Best Heritage project prize.

The project wins a £3,000 cash prize, an iconic National Lottery Awards trophy and will attend a star-studded Awards ceremony, broadcast on BBC One in September.
