Lost Landmark: The Forgotten History of Meir Waterworks (1817-1990)

A large reservoir at Meir, supplied by several springs in the sandstone rock, was built in 1817 by George, Marquess of Stafford, to provide water for the town. In 1844 the supply was said to be good and carried to almost all the houses in the town.
The Potteries Water Works Company, incorporated in 1847, leased the Meir works from the Duke of Sutherland from 1849 and used it to supply Longton, Fenton, and part of Stoke.
