	Birchwood Town Council
		The Risley family lived on the estate until the beginning of the 18th century when it was sold to the Blackburne family in 1736.
		There were 30 tenant farmers on the Risley estate, as well as a Blacksmith, a Wheelwright, a School and a Chapel.
		Risley was chosen because it was a flat site and often covered by mist, which would help to hide it from enemy aeroplanes.

	Cheshire Wildlife Trust
		Lowland raised bogs were once extensive habitats, formed in wet climatic phases in the flood plains of major rivers.
		In the region these habitats were a feature of the river systems at the base of the Pennine fringe, creating large areas such as those at Holcroft Moss and Risley Moss near Warrington, in the Mersey catchment, and a Lindow Moss, White Moss and Danes Moss, further south.
		This is due to drainage for agricultural use, peat cutting for fuel in earlier times and extraction for horticultural peat.
