The Industrial revolution

The advantages and disadvantages are the pros and cons of a certain topic, that each person considers thoroughly before making a bigger decision.

Charles Dickens' London: Victorian London was the largest and most spectacular city in the world.

Dickens had his personal routine and every day he walked a lot of miles-sometimes 10 or 20- through the streets of London.

London's population was 1 million people in 1800, by 1880 it was 4.5 million, unfortunately only a part of it could enjoy the benefits of richness, most of the population was poor and exploited.

WOMEN AND CHILDREN HAD NO POWER

Add here the topic you want to reflect on!

It can be a serious life-changing matter or even a decision on whether to buy a new car or not!

You can describe here why you need this decision or add any other considerations in this regard.

Consequences

Soot covers everything

All the manure flows into river Thames till 1875 the first sewage system was born

At the time people used to drink water from the river but the water was contaminated and so cholera broke out a lot of times.

Personal cleanliness is not important, in close and crowded rooms the smell of bodies is unbearable

Noise: the sounds of the market made the city very noisy

Pick-pockets, prostitutes, drunks, beggars, and vagabonds of every description add to the colorful multitude.

The Metropolitan Police, London's first police force, was created by Home Secretary Sir Robert Peel (hence the name Peelers and, eventually, Bobbies) in 1829 with headquarters in what would become known as Scotland Yard

. 

Live cattle markets and slaughter contributed to the filth

Coaches were horse-drawn, as a result there was filth in the streets, because sweepers couldn't keep them clean.

Changes

Houses are warmer thanks to fireplaces

More people require more food: important markets were born and street sellers pushed their products on carts in the streets.

Railway became more and more popular, stations like Paddington, London Bridge etc. were built but there was no central connection. It was possible to go from one to another by coach.

A time of change and inventors: the first in the textile industry, the steam engine. Skilled work was born
