EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1902, offers a rare glimpse into the inner workings of Battersbys Hatworks and the intricate process of creating fur felt hats in their plank shop. The image showcases an impressive array of formed felt cones, the foundation for the iconic headwear that was once a staple of millinery and fashion. The scene is dominated by an expansive network of pipework and machinery, which were essential components of the manufacturing process. The exposed belt drives add to the industrial feel of the space, emphasizing the labor-intensive nature of hat production during this era. At the turn of the 20th century, Battersbys Hatworks was a pioneer in the millinery industry, renowned for its high-quality hats. The plank shop depicted in this photograph was likely where the initial stages of hat production took place, with the felt cones being formed using a plank press. The resulting felt would then be shaped and trimmed to create the final product. This photograph not only provides a fascinating look into the history of hatmaking but also offers a glimpse into the rich industrial heritage of the millinery industry. The meticulous process captured in this image stands as a testament to the craftsmanship and dedication that went into creating each piece of headwear, making it an essential addition to any collection of historical fashion or industrial photography.
