Woolston_Eyes
Woolston Eyes is a Site of Special Scientific Interest located in the town of Warrington, England, alongside the Manchester Ship Canal.[1] The eyes themselves are used for the deposition of dredgings from the Ship Canal under a Waste Management Licence issued by the Environment Agency.[2]
The Woolston Eyes Conservation Group manages the site as a nature reserve with access by permit only.[3] The rather strange name for the site is from Anglo-Saxon, ees meaning the land near a loop in a river.[4]
