The Lion Salt Works was the last salt works to make block salt by evaporating wild (natural) brine in an open pan. It closed in 1986 and a Trust is seeking to restore it as an industrial museum. It appeared on the second series of the BBC 2 series Restoration. Match funding is still needed before the Trust can access a £5m HLF grant offer. http://www.lionsaltworkstrust.co.uk
