Northwich is a market town and civil parish in Cheshire, England. It lies in the heart of the Cheshire Plain, at the confluence of the rivers Weaver and Dane, 18 miles (29 km) east of Chester, 15 miles (24 km) south of Warrington, and 19 miles (31 km) south of Manchester.
The population of the civil parish was 20,924 in 2021,[2] and that of the wider built-up area 50,531.[3]
The area around Northwich was exploited for its salt pans by the Romans, when the settlement was known as Condate. The town had been severely affected by salt mining, and subsidence was historically a significant problem. Mine stabilisation work was completed in 2007.[4]
