The Change of Handbridge After 1800
Handbridge is a suburb of Chester. Every day Handbridge changes. I
have already been on a site visit around Handbridge, and have looked
at several aspects that I will be evaluating in this course work
including housing, the industrial side of Handbridge and local shops.
From 1800 to 2003 several major differences are noticeable including
the extinction of the river Dee mills. I know there used to be mills
all along the river by looking at names of streets for example "Mill
Lane" and what fish were in the river e.g. "Salmon Leap". Also there
are still several remains of unused mills that today are beyond
repair. As we walked down by the river the remains of an old water
wheel (in the millrace) can still be seen. The snuff mills were burnt
down in the early 1950's and were rebuilt to be 'state of the art'
apartments. They were so sort after that celebrities bought homes
here, including Ian Rush. Today people now see the 'once' flash
apartments, to be an eyesore. This shows the differences in taste from
then to now.
During the 1800's many about thirteen local houses lined Handbridge
this could be because of the big demand of drink from workers who were
once employed by the millers. Now there is only five remaining
including 'The Ship' and 'Grosvenor Arms'. This could be due to the
loss of the Handbridge mills and also be because of the increase of
bars in Chester City Centre, a haven for young people (just up the
road).
The first hydroelectric power station in Europe was built in Chester
in the 20th century (1930). It was built on the site of the old
flourmills along the River Dee, the most obvious sign of continuity in
Handbridge is the River Dee itself we know this because from then to
now it has always powered what ever has been put along side it e.g.
the mills.
During our visit around Handbridge I noticed a decline in small and
The nineteenth century America was a period of history following a number of long lasting wars and also a whole new start to new changes in society. With the collapse of multiple nations that were in contact towards the United States, it paved the way for the growing influence and development for the United States, spurring military imperialism and conflicts, and advances in scientific exploration and technologies. Because of the ideas and resources that were began to spread, develop and flourish in areas of the western hemisphere, the nineteenth century also saw opportunities in construction, communication, and in particular the transportation systems. But as different aspects of society began to improve and that more and more freedom were in the hands of the citizens and government, the competitive market not only expanded in profit and wealth, but simultaneously faced minor conflicts due to the abuse of their rights and property. Because of the rise of new technological advancements and resources, railroads in the 19th century American society quickly boomed cities and came across as the most dominant source of transportation, as it predominantly played a role in the expansion of industry across the United States. Also, it was a movement most efficient in creating their own monopoly and was quickly adopted by many other countries that sought influence.

The street I will be focusing my essay on is West Main Street in Armadale, West Lothian. This street is a lot like City Road in Cardiff in terms of the businesses of which it is made up. Family run businesses dominate West Main Street, like Coia sweet shop, Peking House Chinese take away, Talking Heads hairdressers and Allure beauty salon, as well as bigger, more established businesses like the Co-operative, Lloyds Pharmacy and Ladbrokes. Other similarities to City Road are the variety of people from which the community is made up. During the day the street seems to be overrun by the elderly and mums with young children who may be there to run errands, while at night the only businesses open are the take aways and public houses and so the majority of people using West Main Street change.
Changes in Britain between 1750-1900 There were many changes in Britain between 1750-1900.These changes included; Population, Work, Transport, Health, Culture and Politic. This essay will analyse how greater a difference it made throughout the years in detail. One of the biggest changes were population. Population changed dramatically. In 1750 the total population was about 11 million.
The History of Highfields In the early nineteenth century, the part of the city of Leicester now known as Highfields was a rural area lying outside the city to the east. Known as High Fields, the area was rich in water sources and windmills; the springs in High Fields were said to give exceptionally pure water. An Ordnance Survey map of 1828 shows only a small amount of developement out of the city along the London Road. It was in the mid to late nineteenth century that Highfields began to be developed.
Began in 1760, the Industrial revolution drastically changed America. Initially started by Sir Richard Arkwright in England, the revolution slowly made its way to America. Thirty years later, Samuel Slater introduced America to the factory system. Soon after, Francis Cabot Lowell established a new system of factory work. His ideas are what created the Lowell system which changed America. Before, America was a country where families grew crops and raised animals to survive, during and after the industrial revolution however, even young women could get a job in a factory and make a profit. Overall, the Lowell System positively affected the government, economy and social structure of America.
The issues raised by the growth of Manchester in the year of 1750s to 1850s were the short lifetime of the people of Manchester compared to other industrial districts and rural districts and the diseases that resulted in many deaths. With the growth of Manchester, there had aroused many negative responses. Negatives responses were mostly of the unappealing appearance of Manchester, an extreme displeasure toward the Corn Law, and the negative view from the Blackfriars bridge over the River Irwell. While there were negative reactions, there has risen positive reactions in the growth of Manchester such as the improved way of life and how conditions improved with the Hours of Labor in Factories Act.
From 1830 to 1950 railroads were being developed and network was expanding. During 1830 and 1840 railroad lines increased from 23 to 2,808 miles and more than 6,200 miles had been completed and opened within the next ten years. By 1850 the total network was increased to 9,021 miles. Although other states were developing the Atlanta and Seaboard states obtained the most growth. A trip could take a few days if one was coming from Boston and going to Chicago on a lake steamer, stagecoach, or by rail. Population in the United States was doubled within the first twenty years of railway development. Between 1850 and 1860 railway expansion increased the most. On the map there are short disconnected lines that are leading to imported rail routes. In

The industrial revolution took place between 1750 and 1850 all round the world. In this essay it describes the changes made in Middlesbrough in this period and how the managed to cope with the surge of people coming into Middlesbrough. Everything changed in Middlesbrough in the Industrial Revolution like mining, transport, agriculture and even technology. Population grew at great rate as there was plenty of work and cheap labour was readily available. In 1829 Middlesbrough sustained high growth in technology and population. It was to become, in a very short time a port for North East coal. The railways happened in 1833,In 1840 Middlesbrough dock was built, In 1850 Ironstone was found in eston hills in Middlesbrough, from then on Middlesbrough s iron works commenced followed by steel works. Middlesbrough set the world price for steel. Middlesbrough became known as Ironopilis. The fortunes of the area have now declined but Middlesbrough will always be a symbol of the Industrial Revolution in the United Kingdom.
In the 19th century, America had a basic economy and small industry. It was also a new country, with few customs and traditions. It had not had time to acquire any, because it was still so new. America has grown a lot since then, and a lot of the steps we have taken to get to today's bustling economy and immense industry took place in the nineteenth century. Commerce and industry contributed to America's nineteenth century identity because it provided the framework for a larger economy in the future, helped drive western expansion and growth of cities, made an improved transportation system necessary, and forced many new inventions onto the market
During the first half of the 19th century, improvements in transportation developed. rather quickly. Roads, steamboats, canals, and railroads. had a positive effect on the American economy. They also provided for a more diverse United States by allowing more products to be sold in new areas of the country and by opening new markets to the market. Copied from ideas begun in England.
At the beginning of the industrial revolution in England during the mid-nineteenth century, the railroad was the most innovative mode of transportation known. The British Rail system was a forerunner in railroad technology, uses, and underground engineering. Though the rail system was extremely slow at first and prohibitively expensive to build and run, the British were not to be dissuaded in their pursuit of non-animal driven transportation. The most advanced mode of transportation prior to the introduction of the rail system was the horse drawn omnibus on a track, called a tram. This paper will examine the rail system from a cultural perspective, presenting the impact the railway had on everyday lives in Victorian London and its surrounding communities.
In this lesson, we explore the history, construction, and restoration of the Longfellow Bridge that connects the cities of Boston, Massachusetts and Cambridge, Massachusetts across the Charles River.
The domestic and factory systems both had many differences and occurred at different times but had one goal that was succeed, just with very different outcomes. For hundreds of years humans had the responsibility of producing goods needed for them. Before the 18 century, people were producing goods at home with their own supplies and hands. Women were hand-sewing dresses and men were hand-crafting furniture. Clothing, furniture, shoes, etc., were produced at home slowly, sold locally, and manufactured on a pre-order system. Such a task was handled by one individual and he/she worked as much as they could according to demand. Workers also had multiple sources of sustainces- other employers owned a garden or farm. In the 18 century factories
