EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, dated April 1909, captures a group of Edwardian gentlemen gathered on Eyam Moor, their purpose for being there a mystery. Amongst them is George Barnshaw, a manager at Battersby's Hat Factory in Stockport, who can be identified by his smart attire and distinctive hat. The Edwardian era, spanning the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is renowned for its elegant and intricate fashion, and this photograph provides an excellent display of the various clothing styles of the time. The men in the photograph are dressed in a range of fashionable outfits, from tailored suits and waistcoats to tweed jackets and plus fours. Their headwear, too, is noteworthy, with a variety of hats and caps adorning their heads. Barnshaw's own hat, a flat-crowned felt number with a narrow brim, is typical of the high-quality millinery produced by Battersby's Hat Factory. The setting of the moor adds an air of romance and nostalgia to the image, with the rolling hills and open sky providing a picturesque backdrop. The men seem to be in high spirits, their laughter and conversation carried on the breeze. Despite the passage of time, this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a bygone era of elegance and refinement. The intrigue surrounding the purpose of this gathering only adds to the allure of the image, leaving us to wonder what brought these men together on this beautiful spring day in 1909. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of history and the stories that lie hidden within it.
