More about this scene
It was the production of soap and alkali that became the most important industry here resulting from the proximity of salt from Cheshire and coal from Lancashire. Alkali was needed not only for the production of soap but also to finish textiles in the nearby Lancashire cotton mills. It was produced using salt mixed with sulphuric acid; this was treated to produce soda crystals which were then converted into caustic soda or alkali. The conditions in which it was produced were horrendous and the pollution it caused was worse than anywhere else in Britain.
