Industrialization in Britain

This change, which occurred between 1750 and 1830, happened because conditions were perfect in Britain for the Industrial Revolution. The transformation was facilitated by the following factors;

Availability of coal and iron ore which served as a basis for heavy industries. Coal was a source of energy for use in the industries. Iron was used in the manufacture of machinery.
The agrarian revolution ensured that important raw materials were available for the industries and also made food more available for the many factory centres
Existence of a large population which provided steady internal market for the manufactured goods/domestic local markets. There was also Availability of external markets in her colonies for the industrial produce.
Existence of cottage industries which acted as a base for industrial take-off in Britain. It was easier to turn to mass production of goods on the basis of the small scale production in cottage industries.
Due to the enclosure act, many peasants became available to offer unskilled labour especially following their displacement from the rural areas.
Political stability and strong leadership that existed at the time created a contusive environment for investments when compared to other European countries.
Well developed transport and communication network e.g railway, canals, bridges, harbours and roads which promoted industrialization.
Existence of good banking and insurance systems which gave financial help and security to the industries.
Britain had a strong navy that guarded her trade routes thus protecting her merchants from foreign competition.
Policy of free trade encouraged industrialization/ existence of the merchant and middle class who formed pressure groups that forced the government to adopt measures favoring their industries.britain had no internal customs barrier to hurt her industrial growth.
Availability of wealth/capital that stimulated industrial revolution. Britain had accumulated a lot of wealth from her trade with other countries and her colonies in America and africa.e.g. The steam engine was made in Britain by a wealth Briton.
Availability of industrial raw materials in her vast colonies.
