The UK Salt Route poster that we prepared for the Ecosal-Atlantis project in 2011 has been uploaded to ISSUU and is also accessible from the Ecosal-UK blog site.
We are also currently preparing a grant applications to the HLF in partnership with CBA-NW and a second to the AHRC with Salford University.

UK Salt Trail
Our UK Salt Trail is continuing to evolve. Further references and photographs will be added in coming weeks.
BLUE markers are for historic salt making sites. These will be further separated between sea salt works and inland salt works.
YELLOW markers are for modern sea salt producers.
ORANGE are rock salt mines.
GREEN are vacuum salt works.
PURPLE are gas storage scvhemes developed in rock salt strata.
A YELLOW BUILDING denotes a building related to the history of salt rather than a salt making site.

NW Industrial Archaeology Conference 2010
Saturday 25th September I will be participating in the CBA NW Region Industrial Archaeology & History Conference being hosted by the Merseyside Industrial Archaeology Society at the National Waterways Museum, Ellesmere. http://www.mihs.org.uk/CBA.pdf
My talk includes sites that should be included in a new Salt Trail being researched as part of a European funded collaboration called Ecosal-atlantis . After the talk I said would post a Google map that will include the salt making sites and links I discussed during the talk. This is now included below.
The main objective of the ECOSAL ATLANTIS project, “Ecotourism in saltworks of the Atlantic: a strategy for integral and sustainable development” is the development of joint, integral and sustainable tourism based on the cultural and natural heritage of traditional Atlantic saltworking sites.
Links between salt making sites have been created in other areas. The ALAS project was established to preserve traditions of salt making in salinas. Work in Portugal and Spain was reported in the conference I organised at Lion Salt Works in 2003 and published in the Lion Salt Works Research Report 'Salt Works and Salinas' in 2005, principally work at Figuera da Foz, Salinas d'Annana and Friends of Inland Salinas.
The Trail may have links to sites featured in the European Route of Industrial Heritage - ERIH of which Lion Salt Works was a founder anchor point in the NW of England.
Annelise and I included a gazetteer of the main UK sites in our book 'The Salt Industry' published by Shire Books in 2005. I have also posted videos of historic salt making experiments on youtube such as a demonstration on Wrangle Marsh, Lincolnshire with Tom Lane and the Heritage Trust for Lincolnshire. Other videos are included under the Saltteller and Saltfriend Channel names.
Revisit for text and google map links. These will be updated over coming days. The map will be enlarged to include all sites with a salt connection.
