"WHEELOCK, a township in that part of the parish of SANDBACH which is in the hundred of NORTHWICH, county palatine of CHESTER, 1½ mile (S. S. W.) from Sandbach, containing 458 inhabitants. There is a place of worship for Wesleyan Methodists. The Grand Trunk canal passes through the parish, and on its banks are commodious wharfs and warehouses. Cotton is manufactured here, and there is a brewery; but the chief trade of the place is in salt, of which large quantities are extracted from the brine found, at. the depth of sixty yards, on both sides of the river Wheelock." [From Samuel Lewis A Topographical Dictionary of England (1831) ©Mel Lockie]
