In 1884, The Lion Salt Works was the biggest pan salt works in the UK. Unfortunately, 102 years later, work stopped and the Grade II listed building fell in to disrepair. That's until the Lion Salt Works project set out to restore and preserve the history of this iconic site by turning it in to a community hub.
We took famed chef Ainsley Harriott down to take a look at the restoration project and present them with a rather special 2016 National Lottery Award for best UK heritage project!
