Salt was transported from the main mining areas in Cheshire, Lancashire, Yorkshire and the West Midlands in specially constructed salt vans. These were designed to keep the salt dry and had high sides, were heavily weatherproofed and generally had pitched roofs. Private owner wagons were common, often with elaborate designs advertising the brand. Salt wagons were used right up to the 1970s, and several survived into preservation. Show more
