The Weir on Cheney Brook
This curious weir serves no apparent purpose, the weir only drops 10-12" (250mm -300mm) and the wall beyond supporting the footbridge has only about 10 courses of brick. The nearest building on the 1910 O.S. map (25" to mile") is over 1/2 mile away.

One of many semis in the housing estate north of Crewe Road and east of Nantwich centre.

In amongst the 1950s/later semis are a few scattered Victorian/Edwardian houses, possibly former farmhouses or farm cottages
