  3. Industrial Revolution 18th -19th CENTURY • Poverty, crime, long working hours, overcrowding and poor housing halted the development of leisure during this time. • Leisure at this time became the preserve of the wealthy because the majority of the working population could not afford to participate in sport. Food and shelter were far more important. • This section outlines the basic reasons why we participate in leisure activities. How many of these relate to your personal experiences.
