Description: It is hard to believe that in the 19th century a works of such a scale once occupied what is now Hayfield Camp Site, only the 'Lodge' (local name for a man made pond of water) a number of large stone entrance pillars and a set of steps up to Kinder Wood survive. The works occupied a site of earlier industrial activity it's old name was 'Cutlers Green'. It was on this site that the builders of the 'Earth type Dam' that was under construction a little further up the Kinder valley from 1901-1911 found a source of 'Puddling Clay' which is used to form the impermeable central core of this type of dam, that is why the area is known locally as the 'Puddle Fields'. The reservoir they created still provides Stockport with drinking water. (information from www.hayfield.uk.net)
