INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
TRANSPORTATION
The transportation in the Industrial Revolution was of raw materials in factories and products manufactured from them, was reduced by the high prices of means of transport on the roads to their destinations.
Transport was greatly improved during the 18th century. The first turnpikes were created as early as 1663 but they became far more common in the 18th century. Transporting goods was also made much easier by digging canals. In the early 18th century goods were often transported by packhorse.
During the first two decades of the nineteenth century, a handful of British inventors solved the host of problems posed by placing a steam engine within a carriage-type vehicle and using it to transport people and goods.
IRON AND STEEL
After 1770, iron, replaced wood as the material for making industrial machines and tools. The Industrial Revolution began to speed up, the need for coal grew because it provided power for the factory engines, steam powered ships and steam locomotives.
Steel is the first of several new areas for industrial mass-production that characterize the Second Industrial Revolution beginning around 1850. It became widely available in the 1870s after the process was modified to produce more uniform quality.
TEXTILE INDUSTRY
In the early 18th century the textile industry consisted of four materials — wool, cotton, silk and linen.
The industry was organised on the domestic system using hand-powered machinery; wool was by far the most important fabric.
In 1850 the textile industry had been totally transformed into one which was based on the factory system with steam-powered machinery. Output was vastly increased as a result. By now cotton was the dominant sector of the textile industry.
