Living the Industrial Revolution • The Factories Arrive… • Life
The Factories Arrive… From Cottage to Industry • Industrialization drove society from an agricultural to an urban way of life • Cottage Industry = individual workers use hand tools or simple machinery to make goods in their own homes or in workshops attached to their homes. • Factory System = a system of manufacturing based on the concentration of industry into specialized and often large establishments. • As cotton textiles, iron, and steel became more industrialized, the cottage industry disappeared. Family-based cottage industries displaced the factory system.
The Factories Arrive… British Enclosure Movement • Before the Industrial Revolution, land was publicly owned. Families farmed small tracts of land as they needed for their families. • However, in an attempt to raise revenue, the government began to portion off the land and sell it… to those that could afford it… • Wealthy individuals began to buy large parcels of land and fence off these “enclosures” as private property. • As the Industrial Revolution progressed, more private property was needed on which to build factories. • British Enclosure Movement
The Factories Arrive… Cities • Families could no longer make a living as a cottage industry • Farmers could no longer work public land • But the factories needed employment and so there was a huge move towards cities, creating a population explosion.
The Factories Arrive… Nineteenth-Century Urban Growth

Life In the factory • Early factories were miserable places: • Bad lighting • Lack of ventilation • Dangerous machines • Frequent breakdowns
Life In the factory • Safety standards were practically nonexistent, and workers in various industries could expect to contract serious diseases: • Laborers working with lead paint developed lung problems • Pewter workers fell ill to palsy • Miners suffered black lung disease • Operators of primitive machines lost fingers, hands, and even lives • Workers who suffered accidents were deemed at fault; and since there was little job security, a worker could be fired for almost any reason.
Life Women and Child Labor • The demand for plentiful and cheap labor led to the widespread employment of women and children. Horrible Histories: Victorian Child Horrible Histories: Victorian Maid
