Rawlings Close, WARRINGTON, WA3 6QB

Originally, this area was known as Risley. In 1939 the small farming community was transformed by the construction of Risley Royal Ordnance Factory which covered nearly 1000 acres of prime agricultural land and produced millions of bombs and shells during the Second World War. After the war, the factory was used by the Admiralty as a storage depot until 1961. The new town of Birchwood and Birchwood Forest Park were created in the 1970s from one of the largest derelict land sites in Europe.

Path at the back of Lyster Close. Birchwood Forest Park is the name given to all the green areas throughout Birchwood. The town is made up of the three villages – Gorse Covert, Oakwood and Locking Stumps.

Hidden away at the end of Lyster Close, away from the rest of the estate, with woodland on three sides and a stream on the fourth.
