What Was Life Really Like During the Industrial Revolution?🔔 Subscribe for more history that shaped our world!
Imagine a world where the day begins with a factory whistle and ends in a soot-filled tenement. This isn’t science fiction—it was reality for millions during the Industrial Revolution.
In this in-depth documentary, we explore the rise of machines, steam, and sprawling cities—and the hidden human cost behind Britain’s transformation into the “workshop of the world.” From the rural rhythms of pre-industrial life to the smog-choked streets of Manchester, this video uncovers the revolution that redefined work, time, family, class, and the planet itself.
