History
We will be visiting the first industrial town of Wales. In the long term, however, the developments in the south east were more important. The ironworks of Merthyr Tydfil - Cyfarthfa and Dowlais in particular - gave rise to Wales's first industrial town. By 1830 Monmouthshire and east Glamorgan were producing half the iron exported by Britain.
4th England
First we will visit a factory, where cotton spinning using water power (Arkwright’s Mule) and the Spinning Jenny led to workers being housed under one roof in order to maximise production levels to increase profits for the factory owners.
5th Northern Ireland
We will now visit ware the Industrial Revolution all began. Work became more regimented and disciplined, and began to take place outside the home. Many of the jobs, especially in the textile industry, could now be done by common laborers, or even children, rather than skilled tradesmen, and was closely supervised. A movement of the population to the cities from the countryside produced dramatic changes in lifestyle.
3rd Ireland
We will visit ware people strugled from the industrial Revolution in Ireland. The peasant society of Ireland remained an agricultural dependant country - which was always harmed by the poor condition of Ireland's infertile land. In search for jobs promised in industrializing countries, emigration soared through the first half of the century, robbing the nation of its strongest men and leaving the nation stripped of labor and resources. Irish emigration also affected the incomes of landlords who had to rely on the depleting source of remaining peasants.
TraveOnHere we take everyone to ware people only dream they could visit. We go to every country in the world. And our tours are at a super low price od only $3,500.
Finaly we will visit one of the greatest manufacturers of the Industrial Revolution. Although Ireland was on the periphery of industrial development, by 1900 the North was one of Europe's greatest manufacturing regions. It led the world in linen production and shipbuilding, (the ill-fated Titanic was built at Belfast) and fostered a huge variety of small-scale industries in rural areas.
