Although the OS refers to it as Poynton Lake I have only ever heard it referred to as Poynton Pool in the forty-odd years I have lived in the area. Being in Cheshire it might be expected to be referred to as a 'mere' but I suspect it to be almost wholly man-made and a mere should really be a natural feature.
