About

Middlewich ward encompasses the historic market town itself along with surrounding rural settlements like Byley and parts of Davenham. The area is defined by the River Dane and the Trent and Mersey Canal, which intersect at the famous Middlewich Big Lock. This infrastructure historically supported the town's salt industry, with some production continuing today alongside more modern light industrial and distribution centres on its outskirts.

The town centre retains a traditional high street layout with independent shops and hosts regular outdoor markets. Large areas of the ward consist of agricultural land and waterways, providing walking routes along the canals and flashes, which are lakes formed by historical subsidence due to brine extraction. Residential development includes older terraced housing near the centre and newer estates expanding towards the countryside.
