Wincham is a civil parish and village in the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England. It is about three miles north of Northwich in the Cheshire Plain. The Trent and Mersey Canal runs through the parish. The whole area around Wincham was the site of salt mining for many years, with the Lion Salt Works at nearby Marston. This industry finally ceased in the village in 2005 when New Cheshire Salt Works was bought by British Salt and closed down. In 2015 the Lion Salt Works re-opened to provide a unique visitor attraction detailing the history of salt production in Cheshire. A butterfly garden in the grounds is managed by Butterfly Conservation and provides another dimension to the tours. The population of the parish was: * 1801: 367 * 1851: 684 * 1901: 1054 * 1951: 890 * 2001: 2289 * 2011: 2162 The village is home to Wincham Community Primary School. It is home to Witton Albion Football Club who moved to Wincham Park in 1989. ==See also== *Listed buildings in Wincham 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wincham」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
