If this is from the west, I don't see how that can be Chat Moss.

Morleys Hall is to the West (Liverpool side) of the canal bridge and just out of shot. The cottages have been demolished and also the bridge has been replaced by a 'Pipe Bridge' with a footpath.

I'm afraid that is not Morleys hall as its on the same side as Peel Hall the white bldng to the rear left, Morleys hall is to the right of this image over the A580.
