EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the aftermath of a devastating fire that engulfed Battersbys, a renowned hat factory in Stockport, England, in June 1906. The image showcases the remnants of the factory's machinery, specifically a crown finishing machine, which was a crucial component in the production of high-quality hats. The crown finishing machine, located at the top left of the picture, was a testament to the intricate and labor-intensive process of millinery production. Its purpose was to shape and form the crowns of hats to perfection, ensuring a flawless finish. The machine's delicate mechanisms were a marvel of engineering, designed to create the elegant curves and shapes that were the hallmark of Battersbys' hats. The drive system of the machine, visible in the top left corner, is a reminder of the powerful steam engine that once drove this and other machinery throughout the factory. The single massive engine, located elsewhere in the building, transmitted its power to the various machines via rods and belts, creating a symphony of motion that brought the hats to life. The fire that ravaged Battersbys in 1906 was a significant loss for the millinery industry, as the factory was known for its exceptional craftsmanship and innovative designs. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history of hat-making in Stockport and the intricate machinery that once powered it.
