The fascinating history of one of Cheshire's most attractive and historic towns is brought to life by NANTWICH MUSEUM. The museum has main galleries telling the story of Nantwich through the ages - Roman salt making, Tudor Nantwich's Great Fire, the Civil War Battle of Nantwich and the more recent shoe and clothing industries. Beyond the galleries lie two extensions. The first with its cheese-making exhibition is dedicated to demonstrating how the county's famous cheese has traditionally been made and sold around the floral market town of Nantwich. Next is the magnificent, prize-winning Millennium Gallery which provides the perfect home for a diverse programme of temporary exhibitions.

AUSTIN'S YESTERYEAR GROCERS SHOPPE is at the back of A T Welch recreates an old grocer's shop of years gone by. Fascinating not only to those who remember the era, but also to younger generations. The old shop takes you back in time, to when self-service was unknown and pre-packaged and ready prepared foods were unheard of. The little drawers contained loose spices, root ginger, nutmegs, bicarbonate of soda and many other small items. The grocer of yesteryear stocked corn, bran, washing soda, donkey stones, polishes, black lead and many other items that are no longer available.

HACK GREEN SECRET BUNKER kept its secret for over 40 years. Now declassified, the underground labyrinth of passages and rooms reveals what would have been the nerve centre of regional government had World War III broken out.

STAPELY WATER GARDENS is home to the national collection of water lilies and has a huge glasshouse where tropical birds, fish and wildlife are at home amongst the exotic plants.
