From the 17th century Stockport became a centre for the hatting industry and later the silk industry. Stockport expanded rapidly during the <a href="/wiki/Industrial_Revolution" title="Industrial Revolution">Industrial Revolution</a>, helped particularly by the growth of the cotton manufacturing industries. However, economic growth took its toll, and 19th century philosopher <a href="/wiki/Friedrich_Engels" title="Friedrich Engels">Friedrich Engels</a> wrote in 1844 that Stockport was "renowned as one of the duskiest, smokiest holes" in the whole of the industrial area.<sup id="cite_ref-Engels1969_27-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Engels1969-27"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>Stockport was one of the prototype <a href="/wiki/Mill_town" title="Mill town">textile towns</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Rodgers_28-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Rodgers-28"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> In the early 18th century, England was not capable of producing silk of sufficient quality to be used as the <a href="/wiki/Warp_and_weft" title="Warp and weft">warp</a> in woven fabrics. Suitable thread had to be imported from <a href="/wiki/Italy" title="Italy">Italy</a>, where it was spun on water-powered machinery. In about 1717 <a href="/wiki/John_Lombe" title="John Lombe">John Lombe</a> travelled to Italy and copied the design of the machinery. On his return he obtained a patent on the design, and went into production in <a href="/wiki/Derby" title="Derby">Derby</a>.

Lombe was paid off, and in 1732 Stockport's first silk mill (the first water-powered <a href="/wiki/Textile_manufacturing" title="Textile manufacturing">textile mill</a> in the north-west of England) was opened on a bend in the Mersey. Further mills were opened on local brooks. </p><p>Silk weaving expanded until in 1769 two thousand people were employed in the industry. By 1772 the boom had turned to bust, possibly due to cheaper foreign imports; by the late 1770s trade had recovered.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEArrowsmith199797–101_26-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEArrowsmith199797–101-26"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> The cycle of boom and bust would continue throughout the textile era. </p><p>The combination of a good water power site (described by Rodgers as "by far the finest of any site within the lowland" [of the Manchester region]<sup id="cite_ref-Rodgers_28-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Rodgers-28"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup>) and a workforce used to textile factory work meant Stockport was well placed to take advantage of the phenomenal expansion in cotton processing in the late 18th century. Warren's mill in the market place was the first. Power came from an undershot water wheel in a deep pit, fed by a tunnel from the River Goyt. The positioning on high ground, unusual for a water-powered mill, contributed to an early demise, but the concept of moving water around in tunnels proved successful, and several tunnels were driven under the town from the Goyt to power mills.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEDranfield2006_29-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEDranfield2006-29"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> In 1796, James Harrisson drove a wide cut from the Tame which fed several mills in the Park, <a href="/wiki/Portwood" title="Portwood">Portwood</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Ref_h_30-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Ref_h-30"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>30<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Other water-powered mills were built on the Mersey. </p><p>The town was connected to the national <a href="/wiki/Canal" title="Canal">canal</a> network by the 5 miles (8.0&#160;km) of the <a href="/wiki/Stockport_Branch_Canal" title="Stockport Branch Canal">Stockport branch</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Ashton_Canal" title="Ashton Canal">Ashton Canal</a> opened in 1797 which continued in use until the 1930s.

The London firm of Miller Christy bought out a local firm in 1826, a move described by Arrowsmith as a "watershed". By the latter part of the century hatting had changed from a manual to a mechanised process, and was one of Stockport's primary employers; the area, with nearby Denton, was the leading national centre. Support industries, such as blockmaking, trimmings, and leatherware, became established. <a href="/wiki/Stockport_Armoury" title="Stockport Armoury">Stockport Armoury</a> was completed in 1862.<sup id="cite_ref-drill_31-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-drill-31"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p><a href="/wiki/World_War_I" title="World War I">World War I</a> cut off overseas markets, which established local industries and eroded Stockport's eminence. Even so, in 1932 more than 3,000 people worked in the hatting industry, making it the third biggest employer after textiles and engineering. The depression of the 1930s and changes in fashion greatly reduced the demand for hats, and the demand that existed was met by cheaper wool products made elsewhere, for example the <a href="/wiki/Luton" title="Luton">Luton</a> area. </p><p>In 1966, the largest of the region's remaining felt hat manufacturers, Battersby &amp; Co, T &amp; W Lees, J.
