The sign at Wheelock roundabout is confusing, access to most of Wheelock is best from the Sandbach end of Crewe Road.

Access to Zan Industrial Park, HJ Lea Pet Superstore and all the shops in Wheelock is best via Hind Heath Road or Crewe Road via the Glasshouse roundabout. The road is blocked near Christ Church Wheelock during the emergency road/sewer repairs.

Overnight Snowfall at Zan Industrial Park

Snow on the morning of Sunday 21st February 2010 at Zan Industrial Park, Sandbach.

Zan Industrial Park in 1925

This is one of the earliest photographs in the Zan archives. It shows the mill building with the old window frames together with two boarded up windows, before the Zan Clock was installed. The hand powered petrol pump is dispensing Pratt's Petroleum. The mill chimney is still at full height, it was later lowered twice to its current size. The three chimneys to the right in the distance belong to one of the old Wheelock salt works alongside the Trent and Mersey Canal - the area is now known as the Salties.

The Zan Clock

The Zan works clock was rescued from the demolition of the Brunner Mond factory in Malkins Bank and installed in Wheelock in around 1932. The Brunner Mond factory was situated about half a mile upstream on the Trent and Mersey Canal, manufacturing various bulk chemicals from the locally sourced brine, materials such as limestone and coal were brought in by narrowboats on the canal and the North Staffs Railway line which ran through the site.

The clock face replaced one of the original window openings in the top floor of the mill building.


The clock mechanism requires winding up each week, a task that has been undertaken for over 75 years without fail. The clock will run for at least 8 days before the weight hits the floor in the room below!

The link between the mechanism and the fingers on the outside. Note the counterbalance to the fingers.

The clock is maintained by J.B. Joyce from Whitchurch Shropshire, an engineer visits each year to oil and check the mechanism. J.B. Joyce are part of the same group that maintain Big Ben.
