--> It was created by combining the spinning jenny's carriage and the water frames rollers
- Required a skilled weaver to operate
--> They were later developed so that they could be used by unskilled workers

- To generate the required heat for smelting iron ore charcoal was needed
--> However making charcoal was time-consuming and required a large supply of wood; Due to this the wood supply across Britain decreased
- An Iron producer at Coalbrookdale in Derbyshire, England discovered a way to bake coal which created a substance known as coke
--> Coke was a smokeless fuel that burned hotter than coal
--> Coke had replaced coal as the fuel to smelt iron ore
- In 1784 iron producer Henry Cort was able to combine to process known as 'pudding' and 'rolling', which made the large-scale production of pig iron possible
- As production increased, new uses of iron were discovered such as:
  • knives
  • forks
  • iron pots & pans
  • building material in houses & factories

- In the process of repairing a Newcomen steam engine, engineer James Watt discovered that he could greatly increase its efficiency
- In 1769 Watt developed an improved version of a steam engine that was more practical and powerful]]> 2022-08-02 11:04:43 UTC https://padlet.com/gombamak/793es4xd6moq6g0f/wish/2253383519 Impacts gombamak https://padlet.com/gombamak/793es4xd6moq6g0f/wish/2253384374 - James Watt had created an improved steam engine that was not only used in the mining industry but also in:
  • cotton-spinning factories
  • flour mills
  • breweries
  • sugar cane crushing mills

- Trevithick was the first person to drive a steam locomotive on the railways of a tramway
- The first locomotive built and used for commercial purposes was known as the Stephenson's rocket
--> It was built by George Stephenson in 1829]]> 2022-08-02 11:15:18 UTC https://padlet.com/gombamak/793es4xd6moq6g0f/wish/2253386898 Impacts gombamak https://padlet.com/gombamak/793es4xd6moq6g0f/wish/2253387724 - As time went on they became far more powerful & capable of reaching greater speeds

- The steamship went through multiple different designs and improvements over the next 100 years
- By 1838ships were crossing the Atlantic Ocean driven purely by steam power
- Steamships quickly began to replace sailing ships as the preferred ocean-going transport

- It's used in all modern cars and engines
- German engineers Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhem Maybach experimented with an engine that used a new fuel, which later became known as gasoline or petrol
- As internal combustion engines became more reliable and powerful, cars became more and more common
- In 1908 Henry Ford made the dream of having a car possible for the common people
- Internal combustion engine also allowed the development of an engine that would be light yet strong enough to power flying machines
- Powered flight was to develop rapidly, triggered by ww 1]]> 2022-08-02 11:43:08 UTC https://padlet.com/gombamak/793es4xd6moq6g0f/wish/2253397765 Impacts gombamak https://padlet.com/gombamak/793es4xd6moq6g0f/wish/2253400004 - There were cars that where made so that common people could also afford them
- By using an assembly-line technique with a sequel of specialised workers who repeated the same task on a series of components he (Henry Ford) was able to produce more cars cheaply and quickly]]> 2022-08-02 11:46:19 UTC https://padlet.com/gombamak/793es4xd6moq6g0f/wish/2253400004 gombamak https://padlet.com/gombamak/793es4xd6moq6g0f/wish/2253403330 2022-08-02 11:49:54 UTC https://padlet.com/gombamak/793es4xd6moq6g0f/wish/2253403330 gombamak https://padlet.com/gombamak/793es4xd6moq6g0f/wish/2253404331 2022-08-02 11:51:04 UTC https://padlet.com/gombamak/793es4xd6moq6g0f/wish/2253404331 gombamak https://padlet.com/gombamak/793es4xd6moq6g0f/wish/2253412381 - In the early 1700s most roads in Britain were built and maintained by local inhabitants that carried out repairs when absolutely necessary --> This meant that most roads outside of London were in poor condition
- By the 1830s 1000 turnpike trusts --> As a result roads improved and travel times decreased
- As roads improved, demand for more reliable and convenient ways of crossing rivers grew
- In 1799 Abraham Darby began building the world's first cast-iron bridge to link a small mining town with nearby factories in the town of Coalbrookdale
- A toll was charged for using the bridge which became known as the Iron Bridge
- In 1795 the bridge became famous after it remained standing after a major flood]]> 2022-08-02 12:12:33 UTC https://padlet.com/gombamak/793es4xd6moq6g0f/wish/2253412381 Impacts gombamak https://padlet.com/gombamak/793es4xd6moq6g0f/wish/2253412693 - Bridges were made from stone and iron after the Iron Bridge was able to withstand a flood

- It combined two innovations the steam engine and rail-mounted mining trucks
- In 1830 a new track linking the Manchester cotton industry to the port of Liverpool opened goods for export --> This was the first railway to link two major cities
- Throughout the 1830s & 1840s the building of rail tracks and strong iron bridges and new train routes meant that iron production doubled at this time
- Travel for holidays became more common & some commodities became more readily available such as:
  • Fresh flowers
  • Milk
--> Delivered to London on the early morning 'milk trains' from Cornwall and Devon in the south-west
- The demand for railway bridges led to increased demand for iron production

--> another 200,000 men were employed to lay railway tracks
- By 1839 the travel time had dropped to just under 2 days by train from London to Edinburgh ]]> 2022-08-02 12:32:14 UTC https://padlet.com/gombamak/793es4xd6moq6g0f/wish/2253419946 gombamak https://padlet.com/gombamak/793es4xd6moq6g0f/wish/2253426650 - Over 100 canals were dug across Britain from 1760-1820, linking major rivers creating a transport network for the transportation of food and freight
- One of the longest canals was the Liverpool to leeds canal at 204km long --> Work on  it began 1770 and finished in 1816
- Canals were also used to move coal and other heavy goods, placing the slower method of coastal shipping

- The new lower price fed even faster in cotton mills
- Cheaper coal transport also dropped the price of cotton weaving, increasing the profits for mill owners]]> 2022-08-02 12:47:06 UTC https://padlet.com/gombamak/793es4xd6moq6g0f/wish/2253427245
