Sandbach is a historic market town in Cheshire East, England, noted for its attractive town centre of 17th- and 18th-century timber-framed buildings and the striking Anglo‑Saxon sandstone Sandbach Crosses that stand in the market square and churchyard, restored in the 19th century. The town still keeps its market tradition and a compact high street of independent shops, cafes and pubs that give it a strong local character.
Economically it’s a mix of local services, light industry and commuters, helped by easy access to Crewe, the rail network and the M6 motorway, with many residents travelling to Manchester and other centres for work. Sandbach hosts regular markets and community events and supports active sports clubs and schools, making it a socially engaged market town in rural Cheshire.
