  • Thank you very much for the review. I'll see about getting a photograph of the moss as it is today and adding it to the article, as you suggest. --Malleus Fatuarum (talk) 19:59, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mining

Was there every any coal mining in or under Chat Moss? The Astley Green Colliery, near Tyldesley, is on the edge of the moss and the way I read the information on this site I think there was some activity. It's not entirely clear, but if there was it's worth looking for a more detailed source to briefly add it to the article. Nev1 (talk) 16:50, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
