I know this subject may be like watching paint dry to some people and our own artificial boundaries are meaningless to the birds themselves, etc, etc...........

The subject of the Wigan-Chorley boundary at the north end of Worthington Lakes cropped up last week (both fine Lancashire boroughs in their own right). This boundary does indeed meander through Adlington Reservoir. A check of maps from before the reservoirs were formed shows that it partly follows the pre-reservoir course of the River Douglas and mostly the former course of Buckow Brook, itself the boundary of Worthington and Adlington Township. These former routes of the watercourses are still mapped as River Centrelines by the Environment Agency.

it appears that my s key only works intermittantly, so please for give any missing ones.

and thanks for the info on the area
