Domestic industry and craftsmen Up to 1700s most products made at home or by craftsmen in workshops Carpenters, potters, blacksmiths, bakers Spinners, weavers, tailors
Domestic Industry versus Factories
Why did factories begin to mass produce products previously made at home or by craftsmen? It became quicker, cheaper and easier to mass produce products in factories Why? New inventions Machinery improved Factories built Many people lived in small houses in cities and didn't have skills, space, materials
Making clothes: Step one- raw materials Wool from sheep Cotton from cotton plant (introduced from India) Linen from flax plant
Making clothes: step two- spinning the material into thread Wool, flax or cotton spun into thread (or yarn) on spinning machines
Making clothes: step three weaving yarn or thread on looms
Making clothes: step four cutting and sewing woven material to make clothes etc...
weaving by hand skip from start to end quickly spinning weaving in india
NEW INVENTIONS MADE SPINNING AND WEAVING FASTER AND EASIER THIS MEANT MORE MATERIAL AND CLOTH COULD BE PRODUCED USING LESS PEOPLE BIGGER MACHINES COULDN'T FIT IN HOUSES AND FACTORIES MASS PRODUCING CLOTH AND CLOTHES DEVELOPED
1764: James Hargreaves- Spinning Jenny Eight threads could be spun at a time
1769: Richard Arkwright- Water Frame Water powered machine could spin 100s of threads at a time
1779: Samuel Crompton: Spinning Mule Combined advantages of Spinning Jenny and Water Frame
1733: John Kay: 'Flying Shuttle' Wheels on shuttle doubled speed of weaving
1787: Edmund Cartwright: Power Loom Steam power used to weave very quickly

What were the working conditions for factory workers during the industrial revolution like?
Go to videos and then see what it was like working in textile mills short video on children in factory work
COPY THIS DOWN Working conditions in factories Dark Long hours Dusty Low pay Dirty Disease spread easily Noisy Cramped conditions Damp Cruel managers Hot Dangerous: machinery, chemicals Children missing out on play and school Unhealthy: dust, cotton pieces in air, chemicals, fumes No proper insurance or compensation in case of accidents
COPY THIS DOWN More inventions 1709: Abraham Darby- Smelting iron with coke (coal dust) produced stronger iron (wrought iron?) 1784: Henry Cort: Puddling and rolling improved the quality of iron produced 1856: Henry Bessemer: Bessemer Converterturned iron into much stronger steel
What were the living conditions of factory workers like?
Tenement room in the Coombe Dublin
Children from Dublin Slums in early 1900s
COPY THIS DOWN Problems in cities Poverty/Overcrowding Dirty, dusty rooms Vermin: rats, mice (under floorboards etc..) Insects: cockroaches ants etc.. (sometimes in wallpaper) Poor sanitation or Run down buildings hygiene: outside toilets, Buildings collapsing no proper drains or sewers, spillages etc.. Fires Lack of facilities for Bad smells washing Dark rooms Diseases (cholera, Adulteration of food typhoid, TB, whooping Poor diet leading to cough malnutrition
COPY THIS DOWN key words Tenements: a house with several families, e.g. One family per room Slums: a run down poor part of a city
Hewers Trappers Hurriers COPY THIS DOWN Working in mines Gas could poison miners or explode Canaries and later Davy lamp used Dusty, dirty,coal dust (black lung) Cramped, uncomfortable: bad for back, posture etc... Hot Long hours Low pay No school or play time Dark (damaged eyesight) Dangerous: mine collapse, rail carriages
'HEWERS' dig out coal
'TRAPPERS' opened and closed doors
'Hurriers' pushed and pulled carts of coal
The Luddites: early 1800s
Improvements in working conditions Robert Owen was a cotton factory owner in Scotland Paid fair wages, provided houses for workers and a school for children Lord Shaftesbury campaigned for the government to improve working conditions for workers particularly women and children Various Factory Acts were passed in 1800s Trade Unions (organisations of workers) set up to fight for better work conditions/pay and campaign for laws to be changed
