  • each family typically had several children, and often they died in infancy or early childhood. However, infant mortality rates declined over the course of the century and birthrates declined as well.Life for Women and Children during the Industrial Revolution was quite different to the way they can live today. This page looks at some of the things that women and children were expected to do during the industrial revolution and provides source material to show what people thought of this at the time.

  • The first railway was the Stockton and Darlington Railway (1825). George Stephenson built the Rocket (1829). Significant engineering achievements included the London Underground (1863) and the Forth Bridge (1890).

  • There was a 'Railway Mania' in the 1840s. £3 billion was spent building the railways between 1845 and 1900.

  • In 1870, 423 million passengers travelled on 16,000 miles of line.

The use of machinery and factories led to mass production, which in turn led to the development of numerous environmental hazards. The effects on the environment would only be seen clearly years later.

    The use of factories and mass production has led to a depletion of certain natural resources, leaving the environment permanently damaged. One example of this depletion is deforestation, which is the clearing of forest trees for use in production. When the trees are cleared, the wildlife in the forest also becomes uprooted.
