What was bad about Industrialisation
Industrialisation brought problem. Families who had once worked side by side in the fields were broken up. Factory workers were made to work long hours with hazardous fumes or dangerous machinery. In the coal mines there were accidents from roof falls and gas explosions. Smoke and soot from new coal-powered industries filled the air of factory towns.

How did life change for the better?
The Industrial Revolution brought many benefits. Advances were made in iron production, leading to the cheap manufacture of everything from iron bridges to iron frying-pans, and to the machines and engines used in textile mills and railway travel.Bumper harvest were achieved with new farm machinery, and transport by railways and steamships meant that food could be imported from other countries, giving people a more varied diet.
