DISCOVERIES IN MIDDLEWICH
Discoveries have been made in Middlewich since the
early 18th century. Early finds were mainly by chance, but since the 1960's
there has been a series of archaeological digs, surveys and watching briefs in
the town, as well as important finds made through metal detecting.
Pictured below are some of the finds, we will try and change
these as regular as possible, but the best way to see them is to come to
Middlewich and see them in the exhibition and then take the Town Trail.
