The taller part of the building is the former winding engine house of the failed Tower Pit of 1846 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1778705 . It now forms just small part of a much larger modern house. The pond is the former ice pond http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1778717 of the now demolished Poynton Towers mansion.
