Working in the Cotton Mills
All the processes of production were brought under one roof as well as management. This allowed for more close and careful supervision of the production process, careful monitoring of the quality, and regulation of the labor force. These steps and control of production were difficult under the working conditions in the countryside.
In the early 19th century, factories increasingly became an important part of the England landscape. So powerful was the grip and power of the new factories and technologies, that the bylanes and workshops were almost forgotten, where production still continued.
The Coming Up of the Factory
The earliest factories in England came up by the year of 1730s, but only in the late 18th century, the number of factories came to be multiplied in England. By the year the 1970s, Britain was importing 2.5 million pounds of raw materials and by 1787, the import increased much more to 22 million pounds.
