A concise map of how Britain’s early industrial system yoked energy, machines, and institutions to transform work, life, and the globe.
The Industrial Revolution boosted whale oil demand, funding early factory economies while driving near-extinction risk for north Atlantic whales.
Factories often powered by water wheels persisted alongside steam engines, creating hybrid mills that duplicated energy sources on a single site.
Industrial output doubled urban daylight hours, as gas lighting extended productive work into late nights before electricity became common.
The first railways standardized time zones to synchronize schedules, a transportation advance born from railway precision needs.
