The recent announcement that the Brunner Mond works of Tata Chemicals at Lostock is to close at the end of January 2025 will bring an end to the production of soda ash in the Northwich area. No longer will the limestone trains run from Tunstead and area every day as they have since, I think, 1878. These massive limekilns will soon be replaced by executive housing or some similar nonsense. Soda ash for bicarbonate of soda production at Winnington will in future be imported from the USA!
