The Brookfield Cinema in Poynton opened in 1938 and closed as a cinema in 1957. Subsequently it was used as a car repair workshop, restaurant, gym, and club, but most of these did not last long. At the rear of the building was the engine room which had housed two Russell Newbery engines to drive the dynamos to supplying the mercury arc rectifiers for the projector lamps. The engines were rescued by the nearby Anson Engine Museum and the space was then used to store oil tanks and dispensers which are seen here mainly standing on the old engine beds. In the far corner as the galvanised tanks that held cooling water for the engines.
The building was demolished soon after this photo was taken in 2015 and an Aldi shop now stands on the site.
