THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION IN VICTORIAN AGE

by Timothée Vauchy

             The industrial revolution began with the invention of steam engine. Over time the power of this engine increased progressively and consequently factories, which ran on steam, they were more and more present.

     

  

         Despite the development of richness as a consequence of increase of business, There were still many people who lived, worked and died in very poor conditions.

          

   

     Towns and cities didn’t predict a very big increase of the population. As a consequence, many people lived in their place of work, in very poor conditions.

        

         

The dirty street were very good place for the development of sicknesses.

       

   

   

             Joseph Bazalgette 

(1819 – 1891) built a drain system in London in 1865 (without a water treatment plant)
