Errwood reservoir in the Goyt Valley

Nearby are the remains of Errwood Hall built around 1840 by Samuel Grimshawe a wealthy Manchester businessman.

Errwood Hall was demolished in the 1930s, after it was compulsory purchased by Stockport Corporation, prior to the building of the reservoir. Although the Hall was on too high a ground to be flooded, the authorities considered it a pollution risk for the reservoir.
