The Hat Museum was originally in the former Offerton Hat Works, Hempshaw Lane, Offerton. Formerly owned by Battersbys and built 1886. The Museum is now in Wellington Mills. This pretty Tangye steam engine was relocated to the new site. I thought I had more pictures and some exteriors but they are currently hiding. Hopefully they will surface as the exterior was nice with a tall water tower.
