History of the site:-
William and Mary Battersby both began their careers working at Christy's, however William left the company over a dispute with the owner who had attempted to pressurise William into changing the date of his wedding with Mary to suit the requirements of the business. They were married on 21st June 1863 as planned, and soon after in 1865 William set up his own firm.
Battersby's occupied two sites before the move to Hempshaw Lane site in 1886, which was a short distance from the Battersby family home, "Strathclyde", on Offerton Lane built c. 1875
Battersby's became known for high quality hats and by the 1897, the company had a London showroom, a separate London warehouse and a factory in France.
Following the 1906 and 1912 fires, it was decided to install an early site wide sprinkler system and it was this which required the construction of the striking water tower which now dominates the Hempshaw Lane elevation.
During the 1920s, the importance of the Hempshaw Lane site was such that during the Second World War it was identified by the Luftwaffe as a key textile industry target for bombing during the Manchester Blitz, as recorded in mapping held at the Stockport Air Raid Tunnels Museum.
Following the Second World War, social changes saw the marked decline of demand for hats and many companies merged and went out of business. Battersby's were not immune to this change and were forced to merge with other producers. In 1966 Battersby's merged with several other firms in the region to form Associated British Hat Manufacturers in 1966. This prompted the final closure of the Hempshaw Lane factory and the end of hatmaking at the Offerton site, in 1967. Since that date the site has remained largely unchanged and has been in use as an industrial estate with a range of light industrial, wholesale storage and workshop uses.
In 1997, the complex was included on Stockport Historic Environment Database and given a status of a locally listed building.
Viaduct Partnerships agreed a deal to redevelop the site into 144 residential units, with some mill buildings partially demolished and others kept in original state. Out of 144 units, 45 apartments and houses are located within the Mill buildings.
