The former Free Library was built here on the site of the town jail. It was designed by Thomas Bower, a local architect, and opened in 1888 by Sir John Brunner of the Brunner Mond chemical company, Northwich. It became Nantwich Museum in 1980. (Free entry)

Now a pub, but formerly an Alms House for widows, converted from cottages in 1676. This building has extremely strange and uneven lines, looking slightly twisted. Note the mounting steps for horse riders built alongside it at the front.

This bridge, built in 1803, lies on the site of earlier bridges and near to the river-crossing of the Roman settlement. On the medieval bridge, first recorded in the late 14th century, were four shops. There was also a chapel dedicated to St Anne.

1583-4 On 10th December 1583 a fire started near this spot and burned for 20 days, destroying almost all buildings in the town. Nantwich was rebuilt during 1584 with the help of Queen Elizabeth I, who donated money, and timber from the royal forests of Delamere.

This granite boulder was exposed during construction of the Nantwich Bypass. Formed some 400 million years ago it is probably from the Criffel mass near Dumfries and was broken off and carried by glacier during the last Ice Age to be deposited in the glacial sands of the Cheshire Plain.
