	The Wirral Peninsula
		Wirral’s proximity to Chester had a profound effect on the history of the Dee side of the peninsula during the fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
		Wirral is also fortunate in that the mountains of North Wales to the west tend to absorb much of the rain before it reaches these parts.
		The peninsula is exposed to the full force of the wild gales which sweep in from the north-west during the autumn and winter months.

		In the Wirral Peninsula, East Anglia and Michigan, the proportions of light moths increased before any lichens had reappeared on the trees.
		Thus, it is quite possible for the recovery of lichens in one area to have been indirectly responsible for an increase in the proportion of light moths in another area where lichens had remained absent.
		The first indication of an increase in the proportion of light peppered moths in Britain were obtained by Clarke and Sheppard (1966) at Caldy on the Wirral peninsula.
