On Stockport Road, Denton. In the 19th century, the Licensees of the Jolly Hatters had a family connection with Lees Broadbent who was a hat manufacturer a few doors away at Nos. 51 to 57 Stockport Road. The Licensees were William Broadbent and afterwards his son, James Broadbent. Slater's Trade Directory for 1903 listed Stephen Shaw as the Publican and for a while an association of hatters' unions had offices on the premises where they shared facilities. Slater's Directory for 1909 listed John Ogden Gardner as the Publican along with the Felt Hatters & Trimmers Association who represented the men and women's unions, respectively. In 1911 the Publican was James Harding and the trade unions were still using the premises at this time. http://www.pittdixon.go-plus.net/denton/jolly-hatters.htm
