A Nano On A High Street
This micro is placed in the border town of Saltney. The town of Saltney sits between England and Wales with one road that actually straddles the border. The actual cache is located somewhere that it can cling to on a High Street. This High Street is one of the main roads into Chester and can be busy at times. Although only having a 30mph speed limit please be wary of cars. The cache site is also in the middle of a populated area and can be busy day and night, so Stealth will be required. Please replace the cache carefully and exactly as found so as to keep it active and hidden from muggles. A brief History of Saltney: Saltney was the gateway to Wales for the Roman Legions based in Deva (Chester) and still is one of the most used routes into North Wales today. The name is derived from the former salt marshes on which it is built, lying on the bank of the River Dee. It was once the terminus of Sir John Glynne's Canal and was famous for shipbuilding and chain making. In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Saltney like this: "SALTNEY, a village and a township in Hawarden parish, Flint. The village stands on the river Dee, at the boundary with Cheshire, and on the Chester and Holyhead railway, at the junction of the Chester and Shrewsbury railway, 2 miles S W of Chester; is practically the port of Chester; underwent much enlargement, in recent years, in connexion with railway -works, iron-works, candle-works, manure-works, the opening of collieries, and the establishment of a corn mill and of a wire-rope manufactory; and has a post-office‡ under Chester, and a r. station. The township comprises 2, 185acres. Real property, £7, 517. Pop. in 1851, 854; in 1861, 1, 325. Houses, 266. The manor belonged anciently to Basingwick abbey. Much of the land, till solate as 1778, was an open marsh. Henry II. encamped here in 1157." Please replace the cache carefully and exactly as found so as to keep it active and hidden from muggles.
