Take a look at Nantwich
YOU are visiting a personal website that can show you
various aspects of this South Cheshire market and floral
town.

(nine minutes) to view the slideshow on the right,
See
the town's attractive buildings, old and new; the
almshouses; floral Nantwich; the churches and more.

WELCOME to a personal website about Nantwich - the place where they
pay you to live! Or so some wits say (see
here). The town is served with a
number
of excellent websites, and I like to think of this as one of them! For a
list of the others see this
page.
My website is a mixture of
random thoughts and ideas which appeal to me, as well as details of the
events that are happening in town or the immediate villages - and more.
It doesn't cover Crewe
and what I have always thought of - since my days in local newspapers -
as "Crewe's villages".
I hope that you like the
website.
Pictured above, left, is a sign
in Middlewich Road - there are others on other sites in the town -
proclaiming support for the Britain in Bloom
competition. Above, right is a picture taken at blossom time at St
Mary's Parish Church, the Church of England place of worship in the town
centre. There are other
churches in town.

Nantwich Town Council's Comfort Scheme,
in which visitors to the
town can use the toilets of
various shops, etc, without
being a customer,

pandemic. It is to be
reviewed.
"A Dabber's Nantwich"
is not a news website - although
topical items do
appear. It is a not-for-profit personal
website

Walled Garden applications
re-submitted
THE
owners of the Nantwich Walled Garden site have submitted revised
applications to build apartments on the site, with Cheshire East Council
planners setting a decision target date of March 31. This is still shown as
the decision date on the council's website. Many people took the
opportunity to express their feelings about the application when it was first submitted
in 2019 as well as the current one. See here
for more details.
THIS Nantwch corner has streets at right angles,
but here they appear to be parallel streets. This is the result of using a
fish-eye lens (an extremely wide angle lens) by local photographer, Mike Pointon.
More of his images can be found on this website (here).
