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 in Wonderland author Lewis Carroll (Charles Dodgson), and that the 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.
