The earliest record of Cadishead date to 1212, and show that the whole of Cadishead - then called Cadewalesate - was rented from King John by Gilbert Notton for four shillings (20p) a year, a sum equivalent to about £650 today [REF].
Until the early 19th century most of the area was part of the peat bog known as Chat Moss, but by 1805 work had started to reclaim the land.
