  This text is part of a series encompassing the popular topics taught in years 1-3, aiming to develop early on those skills which form the basis of the GCSE exam. This volume examines how the Industrial Revolution was largely based on the mechanization of the cotton industry and encourages pupils to consider the effects of the cotton trade on the lives of ordinary people by looking at the social changes brought about by mechanization and the factory system, reactions to the new system and resulting reform.
