Nantwich: Castle Street
Image: © Christopher Hilton Taken: 16 Feb 2015
Traffic can get up Castle Street as far as the bollard, but is then turned back before it can enter the pedestrianized High Street. When I first knew Nantwich the situation was reversed: through traffic passed along the High Street, off which Castle Street was a short dead-end, and the only access to properties on the little street was down this narrow entrance. The construction of Nantwich's inner ring road, Water Lode, along the banks of the Weaver in the late 1970s, opened up the waterside and formerly dead-end entries such as Castle Street or the nearby Mill Street changed their orientation completely. An image of the same building a little over 50 years previously can be seen at Image
