Canned food
The practice of preserving perishable food in tins was a product of the Industrial Revolution. Tinned foods were first manufactured in 1812 by the London firm of Donkin & Hall, who went on to supply thousands of cans of corned beef, boiled veal and vegetable soup to the British navy.

Working in the mill
In the early 19th century, many mill-workers were women or children, because they had small, nimble fingers for working the treads and were cheaper to employ than men. They were forced to toil 12-16 hours a day.
