Battersby's Hat Works, Hempshaw Lane
Now in multiple occupancy. Was once home to the hat museum. I have still to find any film archive shots, so I decided to do it in digital instead.

The old Hat Museum, Stockport
The current Hat Works is in a former mill near Stockport town centre. The original hat museum was located in part of Battersby's works on the outskirts. Judging by the date, this was taken at the old site before the museum moved and re-opened in 2000. This shows part of the process of making a traditional felted hat but I can supply no more detail than that. I was really there to look at a steam engine but this unusually shaped device caught my eye.

The original Hat Museum, Stockport
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.
