The mining of salt led to many buildings suffering the effects of subsidence; one of the more spectacular episodes involved The Witch and Barrel pub sinking one Saturday night into a big hole.

These 'crooked houses' existed until recently. A friend of mine lived in one of them. They occupied the opposite side of the road and just down from the old workhouse, and were probably shaken as much by traffic on the railway (about 100yards to the left of the picture) as anything.
