Full Description
<1> C Dobinson, 2000, Fields of Deception - Britain's Bombing Decoys of World War II (Book). SCH4465.
An oil based QF (night) decoy site for Stanlow Oil Refinery.
<2> Council for British Archaeology, 2001, 20th Century Defences in Britain : An Introductory Guide (Book). SCH4453.
<3> Various, Various, Oral communication to the HER, Winfield H, 07/10/2003 (Oral Communication). SCH2330.
Possibly on the same site as CHER 4225/0/1. This grid referance seems odd as bombing decoys are normally placed at some distance from the area being protected, whereas this is right next to it.
<4> The GeoInformation Group, 2005, 1940s RAF Aerial Photographs from Operation Review (Aerial Photograph). SCH4608.
Linear features and small structures are visible on this aerial photograph are consistent with the remains of a decoy site. There is some suggestion that further features have been recently destroyed in the field to the immediate east.
