The River Weaver in Nantwich

The River Weaver may not be the longest, widest or best-known river in England or even the north-west, but it has played a significant role in the history and development of Cheshire, including Nantwich. Until the last few decades, it would have been hard to imagine the river as it is today with its focus on leisure and recreation. This booklet, by Helen Cooke (Nantwich Museum Research Group) and Scott Walker (Science Outreach Officer at Ogden Trust, Keele University) examines how the river, its water, and its role in the community have evolved over time and  includes the results of water-testing experiments by Nantwich schools.
