An economic history of Stockport?

Throughout the 1500s, Stockport was a relatively small townlet. Lying south of the River Mersey, the town relied on hemp cultivation and rope manufacturing. During the 1700s, it became one of the first places in the British Isles to produce silk. The silk economy gradually made way for cotton production during the 1800s, with the town also the centre for the UK's hat industry. By 1884, the town was exporting over six million hats per year. Homage to the towns hatting economy is paid at the Hat Works. The Hat Works, which opened in 2000, is the UK's only museum dedicated to the hatting industry
