Engine House Pool is a small freshwater body located in Staffordshire, England. Situated near the village of Cheadle, this pool is a popular destination for both locals and tourists due to its scenic beauty and diverse wildlife.

Spanning approximately 2.5 hectares, Engine House Pool is surrounded by lush greenery and offers a tranquil environment for visitors to enjoy. The pool is formed by a dammed section of the River Tean and is fed by natural springs, ensuring a constant flow of freshwater throughout the year.

The pool is home to a rich variety of plant and animal species, making it an excellent spot for nature enthusiasts. The surrounding vegetation includes reeds, rushes, and water lilies, providing ideal habitats for waterfowl, amphibians, and insects. Visitors can observe a range of bird species, such as herons, kingfishers, and swans, which can often be spotted gliding gracefully across the water.

In addition to its ecological significance, Engine House Pool also has a historical aspect. The name "Engine House" originates from the nearby Victorian pumping station that once provided water to the local railway system. Although the pumping station is no longer in operation, remnants of the building can still be seen, adding a touch of nostalgia to the area.

Overall, Engine House Pool offers a serene and picturesque setting, perfect for those seeking a peaceful retreat in nature. Its combination of scenic beauty, diverse wildlife, and historical significance make it a must-visit destination for both nature lovers and history enthusiasts alike.

Brindley Hall, Compton, Kinver This house was once owned by James Brindley, the man who played such a big part in the building of the Canals. Up until recent years it was owned by the Enville Estate and fell into disrepair, squatters moved in for a while, then it was sold to Developers, but when they came to renovate it, Bats were found in the roof and work had to stop. If anyone lives in it now I don't know, but with iron fence and Doberman dogs I will leave that to someone else to find out. The farm nextdoor is Union Hall Farm named after The Grand Union Canal.
