THE Lion Salt Works Museum is a unique monument to the UK’s industrial heritage.

It brings to life the importance of Cheshire salt both regionally and globally.

It is up against six other finalists from around the UK for Best Heritage project and is the only entrant from Cheshire to have made it through to the finals of the awards.

The Lion Salt Works Museum is competing for a £3,000 prize and the chance to feature on a BBC One show in September.

The National Lottery Awards celebrate and recognise the inspirational and life-changing impact of National Lottery funded projects. Each week National Lottery players raise more than £36 million for arts, sport, heritage and community projects across the UK.

Voting closes at midnight tonight (Wednesday, July 20). Vote at lotterygoodcauses.org.uk/awards.
