More information about Sandbach

Introduction

Sandbach is a market town in the unitary authority of Cheshire East and the ceremonial county of Cheshire in the United Kingdom. It lies 18 miles south east of Manchester and is the second largest town in Cheshire East after the neighbouring Crewe. The town is steeped in history, with its roots reflecting those of the local car industry, finance industry, and motorsport. Despite its relatively small population, its history, together with its pivotal role in the county's economy, makes it an integral part of Cheshire.

History

The history of Sandbach can be traced back to the Bronze Age. The name of the town is derived from Sand Belts, a reference to the banks of sand in the area which have been formed by thousands of years of local wind currents. Documented references to the town date back to 1260, when the town received its charter as a market town. By the 18th century, Sandbach had become an engineering hub for the local area and was home to a number of iron manufacturers and brick makers.

The 19th century saw the area become an industrial centre for the manufacture of mining and railway engines and various engineering products. In 1894, the Sandbach Gas Works were built, producing an quality of coke which made the town an important coal-mining centre until the early 1900s. The 20th century saw Sandbach become subject to change and development; the opening of the Grand Junction Canal, the electrification of the railways, and the advent of motorcars all had an impact. The development of the M6 motorway in 1972 resulted in increased emigration to Sandbach as a cheaper housing alternative to Crewe, resulting in a large growth in population.

Demographics

At the time of the 2011 census, Sandbach had a population of 16,809, a significant increase on the estimated population of 11,000 in 2002. This population growth can be attributed to Sandbach's continued popularity as a residential area. Sandbach has an average age of 41.9, slightly lower than the UK average of 42.1, but older than the average in Cheshire East of 39.3.

Sandbach has a long-standing and culturally diverse population, with 62.7% of the population being white and 33.6% of the population being from a black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) background. Other BAME populations are represented as 1.4% mixed race, 3% Asian and 1.9% black.

It is home to the manufacturing sites of several car giants, including the Whitehouse Common plant of Japanese carmaker Nissan, where the current generation of Nissan Qashqai and Nissan X-Trail are produced. The plant, which is the largest vehicle-assembly plant in the UK, employs around 6,000 people and contributes significantly to the economy of the town.

In addition, Sandbach was also home to Mann Egerton, a manufacturer of luxury and sports cars in the early 1900s. The Coppenhall Works site where the company operated is now home to a housing estate and the popular Sandbach Motor Museum, which showcases the town's motor industry history.
