Where did Industry Originate?
11.1
Questions
• Where Industry is located?• How did it diffuse?• Why is it located there?• What makes a place suitable for industry?• Connections to the world…
– Where are the markets?– Where are the resources?
– Must consider local diversity
Industrial Hearths in Britain
The Industrial Revolution originated in areas of northern England in the mid 1700s. Factories often clustered near coalfields.
Cottage Industries-Prior to 1750, industries were normally spread out since most manufacturing
was home-based.
-Textiles mainly…-”putters-out” picked up
and collected-piece rate
Review• Which of the following best captures a structuralist
interpretation (dependency theory) of the development gap?• A. Less-developed countries fall behind more-developed
countries in levels of wealth and development because people in LDCs do not work efficiently.
• B. LDCs are in stages 2 and 3 of Rostow’s model• C. MDCs have reached high development levels because of
coal deposits beneath their soils• D. LDCs remain poor because they are continually exploited
by MDCs seeking resources and labor.• E. LDCs will develop in the same pattern as MDCs have, but
it will take time and self-improvement.

• A) primary
• B) secondary
• C) tertiary

Review
• The United Nations Human Development Index (HDI) is based on the assumption that a country’s development
• A) is directly related to its position in the core or periphery
• B) is a function of social, demographic, and economic factors
• C) can improve if countries liberalize trade policies• D) is indicated most accurately by its gross
domestic product• E) is a reflection of its population count
Steam Power
James Watt invented a steam engine that was used to increase production…especially in the textile and iron industries.
Remember the limitations
• What was the labor force like?
• When could they work?
• Where did they live?
Steam Power
• When H20 is boiled it expands 1600x
• Forces a piston to move
• Back and forth piston movement can drive machinery
• Long history of steam power but it was inefficient
Coal
Coal was the main source of power for steam engines and blast ovens. What was the main energy source prior to
coal? Why was it scarce?
TransportationCanals and then railroads were used to transport
raw materials and manufactured goods more quickly and cheaply
Bridgewater Canal Stephenson’s “Rocket”
Textiles
Arkwright’s spinning frame
helped to establish Britain's
position in the nineteenth
century as the world leader in
textile production
Diffusion across Europe
Railroads were built first in
Britain and later diffused to other areas of Europe.
Timeline-Think…Why are these so important?
• 1100-onwards- Colonies• 1673- Test Act- Forbid non church workers from working in the
government• 1701-Seed drill• 1759-Canal Act-enabled canal building…1760 1st canal• 1761-1st Factory• 1764- Spinning Jenny- only 1 person on a loom• 1769- Steam power• 1793-Cotton gin• 1802-Health and Moral act and Electric Battery• 1807-Steamboat• 1814-1st time more secondary jobs in Britain• 1815- Safety Lamp• 1820-Proper roads• 1824-Portland Cement• 1829- Trains• 1856- Bessemer Process and Synthetic dyes
Food Processing
• 1810-canning invented
• 1839-tin can
Diffusion to the United StatesThe growth of manufacturing in the U.S.
was originally slow because:• labor and capital was scarce
• shipping to European markets was expensive
The US textile industry
The 1st US textile mill was built in Pawtucket, RI in 1791 by Samuel Slater
