Eddisbury Hill Colliery was operated by J T Brocklehurst & Sons Ltd of Hurdsfield Mills, Macclesfield, presumably to provide coal for boilers although some fireclay was also worked here. It seems that the pit was sunk soon after 1918 and in the last year of coal winding (1923) employed 3 men underground and 2 on the surface. This is the magazine for the pit which was a landmark from the Buxton Road until demolished a few years ago when the pit spoil heap was also levelled.
