1. Industrialization in England, or any other small town that has experienced industrialization in the world

2. Round 1 Draw: 1 River (1 1/2” wide and runs edge to edge
2 bridges (wooden)
4 main roads (single line)
15 houses (Foundation of house must touch a road)

3. Round 2 Select 1 house, which will be yours and shade it in Draw:
1 church
1 cemetery
2 stores
1 pub

4. Agrarian Life: Round 3 English Countryside 1730
Farming, cottage industry, weaving
Small parcels of land for family farms
Poverty is widespread
Crime is low
Supermarket doesn’t exist, only small shops with few goods
The horse is the car, but most walk

5. Round 4: 1750
Population Explosion due to improved hygiene--such as soap & sewage lines
Draw:
10 more houses
1 more church
1 more pub
1 more road
1 more river bridge
1 more store

6. Population Explosion

7. Population Growth Population as deterministic? Malthusian Controls
Rev. Thomas Malthus
War, famine, disease
avoided by industrial and agricultural revolution.
Agricultural Revolution and Population
Increased pop. capable of being fed - more people survive.
Enclosures send people off countryside to live in Cities

8. Round 5 Draw a BROKEN line around an area on your paper
WRITE in this area “For Agricultural Use Only”
Relocate any houses in the area. NOTHING IS TO BE DRAWN IN THIS AREA

9. Enclosure
First: The division of large open fields into privately controlled plots of land, usually hedged. This land was already owned, but under a concept of ownership that gave the owners rights to the crops, but also meant that other people might have rights to partial use of that land.
Second: division and privatization of common marshes, moors and other "wastes" (in the original sense of "uninhabited places"). These enclosures turned common land into owned land, whereas field enclosures only segregated land that was already owned.

10. Inclosure Acts
The Inclosure Acts of the English Parliament which enclosed common land in the country.
Rights that people once held, to graze animals on these areas when not planted by crops, were now being denied.
Common usage is enclosure, but this is not the name of the acts.
Inclosure acts for small areas had been passed sporadically since the 12th century but the vast majority of them were passed between 1760 and 1830.
In 1801 the Inclosure Consolidation Act was passed to tidy up previous acts. In 1845 another General Inclosure Act allowed for the employment of inclosure Commissoners who could inclose land without submitting a request to parliament.

11. Breeding of Sheep for Meat

12. Improvements in Farming
Jethro Tull
invented the seed drill (in 1701), the horse-drawn hoe, and an improved plough.
His seed drill would sow seed in uniform rows and cover up the seed in the rows.
Up to that point, sowing seeds was done by hand by scattering seeds on the ground. Tull considered this method wasteful since many seeds did not take root..
Oxford, England where studied law, he later studied agriculture
Inherited land in England
The first prototype seed drill was built from the foot pedals of Jethro Tull's local church organ
Seed Drill

13. Round 6 add 1 Factory with water frame add 1 capitalist estate
Great Britain’s advantages:
*location (easy travel)
*resources (coal, iron)
*growing population
*stable economy

14. Round 7 15 houses (#26-40) 5 tenements 1 church 1 pub 1 store
1 bridge (wooden)
Any additional roads needed
1 canal

15. Canal 1 packhorse could move 1000 lbs by road
1 packhorse could move 100,000 lbs by canal

16. Round 8 Add 5 factories all with the water frame Richard Arkwright

17. Factory System
System of manufacturing adopted in England at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.
Each worker did a separate part of the total assembly of a product.
Workers, paid by wage, and machines were brought together in a central factory.
Raw material would arrive at the top of the mill and emerge as reels of spun cotton or silk at the base.

18. Round 9 10 houses (# 41-50) 20 tenements (#6-25)
People from other villages now move to your village
Housing is thrown up quickly, and not built to code

19. Round 10
More workers mean more people have to live, eat and shop for goods.
Add 4 stores
Since workers have only Sunday off, many seek religious relief.
Add 1 church

20. Round 11
Women worked long hard hours in the factories. The average workday began at 6 am and ended at 9 pm. There is only a 15 minute break for lunch. After work, exhausted , workers stop at their favorite pub to relax.
Add 4 pubs
Add 1 school

21. Round 12
Despite the misery of the workers, the capitalists and large farm owners are making large profits.
Add 4 ESTATES
Add roads as needed

22. 1770’s & the Steam Engine James Watt & the Steam Engine
More efficient
Factories can move off rivers & near canals
1785 Edmond Cartwright invents the steam power-loom
All cloth production done in the factories now
No more cottage industry manufacture
Factories 1000x faster than hand

23. Round 13 Draw 3 canals [3”-6” long]
Add 3 coal mines [the canals connect the coal mines to the factories]
The coal mines are at the edge of the paper; if a house or tenement are in the way, relocate it
Draw 10 factories [#7-16] with smoke

24. Round 14 Add 3 coal mines Add one new IRON bridge
Add 10 Factories [#17-26]

25. Puddling Process Circa 1800
Henry Cort invents a method for converting raw iron “pig iron” into wrought iron
Heat & stir iron, rake off slag impurities until pig iron becomes pasty & purer
Beat and roll to expel more slag
More coal needed to fuel the iron industry
Village propelled into the “Age of Heavy Industry”
More & better machines can now be made
Slag byproducts: sulfur & carbon monoxide

26. Round 15 Read 256-257 “The Railway Age Begins
Add 3 Railroad lines connecting your factories and coal mines
[the railroad should be near at least 15 factories]
Add any IRON bridges you need

27. Round 16 [1785-1810] Social & Urban Changes ADD:
Wages are higher in town than in the countryside. More people move to the city to find work & support their family since they no longer get the additional income from cottage industry.
Workers find employment in coal mines, factories and in construction of homes, tenements & railroad lines.
ADD:
5 stores tenements [#26-35]
5 houses [#51-55] 2 cemeteries
5 pubs 1 church
3 schools

28. Round 17
About 50,000 people now reside in your ‘town’ or perhaps city is a better word. Soon there is a surplus of workers. Capitalists, wanting to maximize their profits, hire children and women before men because they perform the same work at 1/2 to 1/4 the wage of men. The children find themselves doing factory work and worse, working in coal mines where small size is an advantage.
ERASE 1 SCHOOL

29. Round 18
As a result of this chronic male unemployment, the crime rate begins to soar. Family life is completely disrupted. Alcoholism reaches epidemic proportions.
Add 4 pubs
Add 2 jails

30. Round 19
The Working condition in the factories [whether textile or iron] are appalling. Many workers contract the deadly factory fever or “white lung disease.” Others injure or mutilate their bodies in factory accidents. Machines contain no safety devices. Children, weakened from lack of sleep and proper diet succumb more quickly. Capitalists are relatively indifferent as there is such a large labor force available for employment that will replace those who cannot work.
Add 2 CEMETERIES
Add 2 HOSPITALS

31. Round 20
Meanwhile, the need for better Rail Road transportation continues. Coal, iron and other raw materials need to be moved to the factories. The finished products from the factory need to be moved to the sea ports and overseas to foreign markets.
Add 2 RAILROAD LINES
More workers are needed to build the Rail Road, work in the coal mines and toil in the factories; and come they do to your ‘town/city.’
Add 5 TENEMENTS 1 CHURCH
5 STORES 3 JAILS

32. 1830
There are no pollution controls, so the air in your city is black. At noon, the sun doesn’t cast a shadow, smog turns day into night. The water is completely unfit for drinking and bathing. Many citizens, even those who do not work in the factories, develop lung cancer and other fatal diseases which are associated with intense stress. People are lucky if they reach 40 years of age. Your city is overcrowded and shrouded in factory smoke. The loss of privacy and clean air troubled many. Suicide rates begin to double. The stress of urban work becomes unbearable for many.

33. Round 21
Add 1 HOSPITAL
Add 1 JAIL
Add 3 CEMETERIES

What pulled people into the city?
Who got the wealth? From where?
