The soda works is seen here from the Trent and Mersey Canal, which passes through the large site. Several large pipes and other structures cross the canal.

The original Brunner Mond Company was formed as a partnership in 1873 (becoming a limited company in 1881) by John Brunner and Ludwig Mond. They built Winnington Works in Northwich, Cheshire and produced their first soda ash in 1874.
