The time between 1750 and 1850, referred to as ‘the Industrial Revolution’, is a period when population movements took place. In 1700 most of the population of England and Wales lived in rural parishes and worked in agriculture. The Industrial Revolution saw manufacturing move into factories and country people, mostly in the Midlands and the north, left their homes and moved to the factory areas for work. The migration involved thousands and more followed in 1800 when the power loom and the coal and iron industries had developed further to produce the factory system.
