DESCRIPTION FROM
Area
'The "saltways" were used to transport salt across the country and are believed to date back to pre-Conquest times. Saltersford Lane is thought to have linked Nantwich with Newcastle, Cheadle and Derby and has sandstone paving up as far as Holbrook Farm from which point the original paving is mainly replaced with modern concrete.'
