Nantwich was one of the centres of the salt industry in Cheshire, having eight salt houses at the time of Domesday. In December 1583 a serious fire destroyed much of the town - Beam Street is said to have been named after the route was used to transport timber for repairs. A town with much 'black and white' architecture, worth visiting for a day out or a longer stay. Time taken 2.09 pm BST (British Summer Time).
