A trout hatchery was built to spawn, hatch and grow trout until they were large enough to be released into Knypersley Reservoir ready for fishing. The hatchery is now unused and overgrown, but an investigation using LiDAR (remote sensing technology) revealed the brick built structure (as detailed on the 'Knypersley Hall Estate' information board).

N.B. The structure was perfectly visible when I visited (March 2022) but may be more overgrown in the summer months.
