Daresbury
Daresbury is a small rural village in
Cheshire, northern
England, outside the town of
Warrington. It is covered by the
Warrington South constituency. The most notable things about Daresbury are that it was the home town of
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland author
Lewis Carroll (Charles Dodgson), and that the
CCLRC Daresbury Laboratory possesses a rather large
particle accelerator, the Synchrotron Radiation Source.
Controversy arose in the late 1990s when Diamond, a new synchrotron light source planned for installation at the Laboratory, went instead to the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, near Abingdon in Oxfordshire.
