MIDDLEWICH is an ancient market town situated at the confluence of the rivers Wheelock, Croco and Dane. In the Domesday Book, it was called Mildestvich. It is one of the Wiches or Wyches joining Northwich and Nantwich from which salt has been drawn for centuries; in fact, it is between the two other Wiches, hence the name. The Romans were the first to discover the brine that flowed freely here and founded the town calling it Salinae after the salt. From the traces of a Roman road in the vicinity, there is little doubt that it was a Roman station, and the remains of an entrenchment camp were discovered at Kinderton.
