Lion Salt Works is a scheduled ancient monument in Cheshire comprising the substantial remains of a nineteenth-century salt production facility. The site includes structural evidence of the evaporation pans, brine pumping apparatus, and associated industrial buildings that characterised salt manufacturing during the Industrial Revolution. The works operated as part of the broader Cheshire salt industry, which exploited local brine deposits to produce salt for chemical and domestic use. The surviving remains provide important archaeological evidence of industrial salt extraction and processing techniques employed in the nineteenth century.
