This photograph showcases the intricate workings of a Strimping Machine at Battersby's Hatworks in the early 1900s. The machine, a solid piece of history from 1902, is a testament to the industrial revolution that transformed the millinery industry. Strimping was a crucial process in hat making, where the brim of the hat was shaped and trimmed to perfection. This machine, bearing the maker's name, was a vital tool in achieving the desired shape and texture. The machine's intricate mechanisms, visible in the photograph, reveal the meticulous attention to detail required in the production of high-quality hats. Battersby's Hatworks was a leading millinery factory during this era, renowned for its innovative designs and exceptional craftsmanship. The factory's reputation attracted customers from all walks of life, including royalty and the social elite. The hats produced at Battersby's Hatworks were not only functional but also fashionable, reflecting the latest trends in costume and attire. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, revealing the intricacies of the hat-making process and the role of machinery in shaping the fashion industry. The solid, industrial machinery, with its bare metal framework and complex mechanisms, stands in stark contrast to the delicate and intricate hats it helped create. This photograph is a reminder of the rich history of millinery and the importance of preserving the traditions and techniques of the past.
