The Middlewich Branch of the Shropshire Union Canal dates from 1829, and the listed buildings associated with this include aqueducts, locks, bridges, and a lock keeper's house. Otherwise, the listed buildings in the town are those usually found in towns, including a church with a sundial in the churchyard, houses, shops, and a former mill. Outside the town, the area is rural, and the listed buildings include farmhouses and farm buildings.
