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.
"A Dabber's Nantwich"
is not a news website - although
topical items do
appear. It is a not-for-profit personal
website
Museum robbed of
fund-raising money
NANTWICH Museum was robbed
of the fund-raising money it had received at a
regular coffee morning. The theft was recorded by a security camera but the thief and
the money are still missing. Many people came to the aid of the
Museum staging events to raise money and posting the theft on social
media. Read more about it here.
Community hydropower scheme
expands
A SCHEME that will use the
flowing power of Nantwich's River Weaver to create electricity for local use
has been expanded by the local energy company behind it. For more details,
see this page.
Building saved for the town is back on market
FAMOUS black-and-white building, Churche's
Mansion, has been put back on the market by its latest owners for
£1.85million. It is being sold freehold as a going concern. See
this page.
A year
of events in Nantwich
A LIST of festivals and events which will be

More plaques mark Nantwich's
history
FIVE of
Nantwich's historic buildings have been recognised by plaques being placed on
them to mark the late Queen Eizabeth the Second's Platinum Jubilee. There are
now 16 such buildings in town with the previous plaques marking the centenary of
the Rotary movements in the 1980s. Visit this page
for more details.
Group raises funds - and more - for train coach
A GROUP of people associated with the miniature
railway that runs by the side of Nantwich Methodist Church have raised their
target funds to provide a coach for wheelchair users - and more. The excess
will be used for related uses. See here
for details of the miniature train and the appeal.
Come and join them
NANTWICH has a wide variety of
organisations which offer membership.
They include Women's Institutes,
history societies, choirs and bands or face-to-face instructions in a
particular hobby such as genealogy (family trees).
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).
