The Poynton Gasholder
When the Poynton Collieries closed in August 1935 the gasworks passed to Stockport Corporation which quickly closed it down, having laid pipes from Hazel Grove to connect to their own supply. The 1877 gasholder was dismantled and moved to Hilltop Farm at Higher Poynton where it was re-erected for use as a reservoir supplying water to the local area. It is still there today although no longer in use.
