Branch of the Weaver Navigation, near Winsford
On the west bank. Does the name Verdin's Cut apply to this branch or the main navigation? Robert Verdin was a local MP and salt manufacturer in the 1800s. Perhaps this is the original line of the river?

Verdin's Cut, Weaver Navigation
Looking downstream. The covered heap on the left/west bank is presumably rock salt, which is mined here in Winsford. The plastic cover is weighed down with black plastic sacks.

Covered salt stockpile, Bradford Road, Winsford (south end)
The weighted down sheeting covers a stockpile of rock salt about 170m long, up to 75m wide and maybe 15m high, making a volume of at least 150,000 cubic metres. There are other such stockpiles further down the Weaver valley. If you wonder whether there is demand for so much salt, see Andrew Fielding's photo Image

Whitegate Way, Winsford
This is the start/finish of the Whitegate Way, a permissive recreational route for walkers, horse riders and cyclists. It follows the line of an old salt-carrying railway line between Winsford and Cuddington (near Delamere Forest) that operated for almost one hundred years before closing in 1966. Here there is a car park off Bradford Road with a vandalized interpretation board. The sign to the left of shot marking the terminus appears to be one of the old station platform signs suitably annotated.
