Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment produced in support of an application for the demolition of all existing dwellings at 689 and 689a Warrington Road, and the former Noggin public house and industrial premises, prior to redevelopment of the site. The Noggin Inn was within Section 10 of the World War II Royal Ordnance Factory (ROF) at Risley Moss (CHER 4092/0/0). Section 10 contained a variety of building types. Comparisons with plans of the Thorp Arch Royal Ordnance Factory in West Yorkshire, and the post-war use of the buildings by the Ministry of Defence Navy Department as a shore machinery depot, indicates the buildings on the study site may have been engineering workshops, machine shops and/or warehouses. The study site also contained 13 smaller buildings associated with ROF Risley but these were demolished by 1985.
