The River Weaver has a long history dating back to the expansion of the salt industry around Northwich and Winsford.
The first Act of Parliament was in 1720. This gave permission to make and maintain the River and by 1732 the Weaver was fully navigable to Winsford.
The rest is history - which is contained in many books and periodicals.
