A feature that characterised this period in time included the introduction of new technologies which in turn caused social and economic issues.

The Industrial Revolution made leaps and bounds in technological development. These technologies emerged between the 18th and 19th century, As England began to drift towards machine-based manufacturing. The introduction of steam power, the catalyst of the Industrial Revolution, led to steam machines being implemented in a wide array of machinery. Steam power replaced manual labour due to its cost efficiency, and this in turn developed into my next feature; transformation of English society.

The technological innovation brought about in the British industrial revolution also brought about rapid social transformation. Population boomed as people flocked to urban centres to search for work. The working classes had to live in destitute conditions while children were forced to work. These changes in social realities created pressure for political change as well, with demands for labour rights and equality.

Technological transformation in the Industrial Revolution also caused the economic development happening in England. With mass-industrialisation came an unprecedented growth in the economy of Great Britain, fostered by the development of steam machines. Trade expansion was enabled by the introduction of canals, improved roads and railways, while shipping became crucial to the economy.

The Industrial Revolution brought fundamental changes into Great Britain. Technological innovations, social transformations and economic growth characterised this revolutionary era, and paved the way for modern society to develop.
