  3. The Industrial Revolution in Great Britain • The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain in the 1780s for several reasons. • Improved farming methods increased the food supply, so food prices decreased & gave families more money for manufactured goods. • more food supply supported a growing population. • Britain had a ready supply of capital (money to invest) for industrial machines and factories. • Entrepreneurs were looking for ways to invest and make profits. • Britain had abundant natural resources and a supply of markets, in part because of its colonial empire.

  4. The Industrial Revolution in Great Britain (cont.) • 18th cent. Great Britain surged ahead in the production of cotton goods. • The two-step process of spinning and weaving had been done by individuals in their homes, a production method called cottage industry. • A series of inventions–the flying shuttle, the spinning jenny, and the water-powered loom invented by Edmund Cartwright in 1787–made both weaving and spinning faster. • It was now efficient to bring workers to the new machines in factories. • Cottage industry no longer was efficient.

  5. The Industrial Revolution in Great Britain (cont.) • 1782 - Scottish engineer James Watt improved the steam engine in so it could drive machinery. • Steam power was used to spin and weave cotton. • Steam-powered cotton mills proliferated throughout Britain. • The steam engines used coal. • Mills no longer had to be located near water. • By 1840 cotton cloth was Britain’s most valuable product.
