Cotton textile industry - the beginner of the industrial revolution

In 1765, James Hargreaves invented the ‘Spinning Jenny’. Within twenty years the number of threads one machine could spin rose from six to eighty.

 

In 1769, Richard Arkwright patented the ‘Water Frame’. This, as its title would suggest, used water as a source of power but it also produced a better thread than the spinning jenny.

Cotton textile industry - the beginner of the industrial revolution

In 1779, Crompton’s ‘Mule’ was invented. This combined the good points of the water frame and the spinning jenny and resulted in a machine that could spin a cotton thread better than any other machine.

 

In 1781 Boulton and Watt invented a steam engine that was easy to use within a cotton factory. By the 1790’s, the steam engine was used in increasing numbers in cotton factories. Therefore there was less reliance of water and the availability of water. Factories tended to be built nearer coalmines as a result.

Transport

​Transporting heavy goods long distances overland was not easy during the pre-industrial age.

Where possible, goods such as timber, coal, iron, slate, and bricks were transported along navigable rivers, which reduced the cost of transport. But where no such rivers were available, goods had to be pulled along roads by a horse-drawn cart. And where no roads were available, goods had to be carried on the back of a packhorse.
