 |
|
The beginning of the 19th century saw the first attempt at the reclamation of Chat Moss. In 1793, William Roscoe began work on reclaiming the smaller Trafford Moss, now part of Trafford Park. By 1798, that work was sufficiently advanced for Roscoe to enter into a lease of part of Chat Moss from the de Trafford family, but no reclamation work was carried out until 1805.[10]
Reclamation methods varied somewhat during the 19th century, but three basic operations featured; constructing drains at appropriate intervals; building a system of roads to allow access to the land so that materials such as clay, lime or marl could be dumped on it, to give it body; and fertilising the land by adding manure, often in the form of the euphemistically named night soil, collected from neighbouring towns
