The industrial revolution by Clayton Falzon level 4 Group X

The industrial revolution was the transition to new manufacturing process from the period between 1760 to the 1820’s and 1840.The industrial revolution began in Britain in the late 1700’s and continued later on to stretch to France, Germany and the United States.

The industrial revolution took a turn to mass production thanks to special purpose machinery that had advanced through the years thanks to craftsmen and ideologists.

During this period of time the world had seen a dramatic change in the way of manufacturing process,The industrial revolution had a huge impact on textiles and lots of advanced machinery (for that time) machines  were being  introduced into the market for faster and better manufacturing. For example thanks to the  invention of the spinning wheel and the loom, cotton was produced quicker and eventually replaced wool in the textile field.

On the negative note some people especially artisans were effected in this era machinery such as the spinning wheel to produce textiles, the wheel used to power machinery and the steam engine were invented and effected them in a way that these machines took practically their job. On the positive side there were always jobs  available for people, thanks to workplaces such as factories there was a demand for people to produce the material in the workshops.

At that time many people were forced to move out of their farms, there were loads of people that lead to end up in the cities to look for work, They ended up to move to cities that could not support them.In the industrial revolution the most important people were craftsmen and would make a lot of money from their inventions therefor in this period of time the world saw extreme changes in machinery that is still effecting us today all thanks to how big the step was at that time, It was a good time to live in because the transportation was expanding so there were a lot of money and electricity was effectively harnessed.

Soho house: The manufacturer produced a variety of goods, Originally the machinery was powered by James Watt he accomplished to re-develop the steam engine to speed up the production. In this house at that time there was a lot of money involved due to the development of production and decorative materials. Matthew Boulton was born in Birmingham  he started to work at a young age of only 17 years old with his father’s buckles and buttons business. In the 1760’s he moved to another area and expanded his father’s business an area just outside Birmingham. He moved there because there were a lot of lands to build from and and a stream for his water powered engine.

Influences that the Industrial Revolution brought: The Industrial Revolution had a huge impact on humans relationship with the environment, It also changed the lifestyle of humans. Thanks to the Industrial Revolution the society developed the ability to produce materials faster and also develop materials in a better finished way. The most astonishing evidence that the industrial revolution had impacted on modern life was population growth, in 7 centuries the world saw a human growth of a total 1 percent growth in total around the world, we are talking abut by the mid millennium AD the world had a population of 150-200 million people and in 2011 the population of the US only was of 312 million people.
