Full Description
B Warren-Bax mentions the 'Hat Factory' at Fritchley in The Hatters' Gazette of 1905. He states, however, that it became a row of cottages rather than a place of industry. (1)
In the 1790s this was the property of the Turton family, cotton spinners, and was intended to be a hat factory, supplying the local lead mining industry. It was however used as accommodation by the Butterley Company from 1810, having changed hands several times between 1800 and 1810. (2)
