In the mid 18th century the Industrial Revolution started in England and swept across Europe and onto other parts of the world. The Industrial Revolution started the production method of manufacturing things by machine instead of by hand. There was also with advances in energy that impacted many aspects of the industrial period such as transportation.
Some of the earliest developments came in textile production with steam powered spinning wheels then the power loom. The use of steam engines in these areas increased production levels and quality. The same results where achieved in iron production at lower costs and rolling mills were faster then hammering product. It was able to forge larger product for use in building bridges, buildings and more. New processes would help to develop new metal with more strength and less weight. The use of steam power impacted manufacturing by doing the work of many employees. In transportation it would be used in boats then the railroads so transporting goods and people became quicker and more efficient. The use of coal from wood improved manufacturing production and heat buildings more efficiently.
With all this came the development of chemicals, paper machines, steel ploughs, gas lighting, cement, machine tools and a new glass making process. More and more factories would continually spread into all forms of manufacturing leaving many artisans without work. Skills that had been taught and perfected over years of practice were making things everyday repeatedly with consistency. While things may have taken leaps economists still acknowledge some paid a price. Wages were low and the working environment dangerous and many production facilities hazardous to a persons health whether it be in a factory, mine or construction.
All across Europe today one can visit many of the sights were these ideas and concepts started. A visit to a factory to see how things were made or are even made today, can be very informative. Visit a mine and go inside to see the working conditions and what miners had to do to extract the raw materials necessary for industry. Many of these heritage sites contain museums dedicated to preserving and displaying the functions of its type of industry. Visiting these sites is an education experience especially for children. They make a valuable family activity to do on your trip.
