besscuit I’m probably from your year too
Me

I LOVE CHICKEN NUGGETS no
On every vid that I have for my quarantine homework i see comments. "Who else watching this becuase of quarantine" lol.
Try to learn something kids and be grateful this wasn't your real experience!
Just seeing this guys face, you know it’s gonna be an amazing documentary
Snitters Flies yes
I don’t know I just have to watch this bc of quarantine
Also I would just like to say I just found it funny
I've loved him since baldrick 😂
He da Man 💯
I like how the factory still looks nicer architecturally than most stuff built in Europe today, it's only when you think about the history of the building that it fills me with a similar feeling of dread.
Here investigating for my Steampunk novel
Why does the teacher have to put a 45 minute video to watch for homework
I mean it’s pretty interesting to learn about, you should watch it entirely it’s actually kinda interesting.
ikr boring
Ikr
exactly
Wow. Tony is a national treasure and is the entire reason I fell in love with European medieval and up to Edwardian era history. Just enjoy. Hes magical.
My great great grandad was a cotton scavenger. He still survived luckily.
My great-great grandfather was a 19th century silk weaver in Stonehouse near Glasgow. He and his fellow weavers had the looms in their houses and did not work in factories. Their houses were not large so the loom must have taken up most of the space.
Their sacrifice was fundamental to the way of life we live today. Remember: life was already harsh for people before the Industrial Revolution, if life was better in the country, they wouldn't move in to cities. It's thanks for Industrial Revolution that things started to became easier and now we can buy any type of clothing we want or work from home
I don't want to spoil things but the clothes we buy are made in developing countries in conditions that are kind of like how these workers lived... Just saying.
nerd
The reason why they moved to the cities was because they were kicked out from their houses and farms by the enclosure movement not because they freely chose to move to the cities.
7:23 "chose" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this framing. ignoring the poverty and structural violence.
As usual if Sir Tony is doing it its worth watching
*_"This wasn't just a lavatory, this was a financial investment."_*
Sir Tony Robinson always presents such compelling documentaries. Thanks Reel Truth.
Thank you Sir Tony, yet again an amazing documentary, I hang on your every word !
Excellent program. It's hard to beat Sir Tony in the job he has.
He always has a cunning plan to make it fantastic.
You cant beat Tony Robinson for great documentrys
@Nikki Smith Those too :)
I'll always see him as the host of fat tulips garden
Seems kind of ironic that here in Australia the big end of town seems keen to bring the workforce back into the nineteenth century with the help of governments.
Workers are maimed and killed in accidents due to negligence of company bosses and yet the punishment the bosses get is a slap on the wrist and a fine.
@Celto Loco the problem is that developers will give the contract to a builder who then subcontracts it to various other people, some who are dodgy operators , it might not be the developer who’s dodgy, but then they could all be dodgy.
So when the building is complete and the private certifier has signed off on the project, people move in only to find out that the property is unliveable and are forced to move out . Who pays?
Not the developers or builders they just declare bankruptcy and go and start another company without any consequences.
How many CEOs and corporate bosses do you know have gone to prison because they have wilfully ignored the unsafe conditions they have there workforce working in , I have worked in many different industries and believe me when I say that there are many that try get away with unsafe practices, and when a worker is injured on the job the bosses will blame the workers.
Do I understand the law in these situations yes I do , I also know how hard it is for some people to get worker’s compensation due a companies negligence, there are some that do the right thing but many that don’t, all these companies being caught underpaying their workforce and other things brings back the question ? How many corporate bosses have been sent to prison for wage theft.
My classmates: *actually taking notes*
me: alright we gonna write down the first 10 things he says n' we Gucci.
This is what history should be like
It would be wrong to lump a lot of these factory worker families with greedy owners and such. For them it was survival and the lack of knowing the importance of education since valuing education is a *very recent modern* idea. And if it weren't for them we wouldn't have that value.
I agree that workers shouldn't be lumped in with capital owners. This video is such a clear example of a capitalist getting rich off the back of others while claiming to be hard working themselves.
But I think many of them would have valued education if given the opportunity, but they were refused access. The easiest way to keep the working class down is to keep them uneducated. Much like it is now, getting a modern education is essential for uplifting ones self out of poverty. That's why so many among the rich fight so hard to keep it for themselves. I bet the factories that provided education used it as a way to get parents to send their children for apprenticeships. "We will clothe, feed, house and educate your children!" A rich capitalists idea of a fair price for child slaves.
I really liked it I had to learn it in history!
Rickets is a bone disorder caused by a deficiency of vitamin D, calcium, or phosphate. Vitamin D deficiency is due to lack of sunlight because the human body does not produce vitamin D. There are different bone abnormalities associated with rickets, but all are because of poor mineralization with calcium and phosphate as well as the lack of vitamin C.
'nuf sed.
great stuff.
Nice to see Gregg's was going on back then
The truth was way bitter, brutal and gruesome. But media glorifies the whole deeds!!
Nice too see thr Greggs family went from Cotton to sausage roll production
its a completely different vibe watching long documentaries like this in real school wth your friends than sitting on your bed at hme and being forced to watch the full thing and make notes on some laggy word document
why are there no closed captions for this documentary anywhere?
i cant listen to it but there is no captions
Such fascinating era in history!
misread this as 'fantastic' and was just like w h a t
Sir tony looks like samuel greg
Sir Richard Arkwright " Father of the Industrial Revolution "
My grandfather x8. And I live in New Zealand.
What he did or didn't do,
My motto: "you can't change history"
Breaks my heart hearing how children were treated back then.. and to think today's world has it all.. yet we still complain
Excellent documentary that made me realise once more how the rich got such through exploitation and greediness
You might want to study how man lived before the industrial revolution. You might want to also realize that the free enterprise system was suppose to be long to you and me, so we could get rich too,---morally, trading money instead of blood. Yea, check out the great mankind of primitive tribal warfare before individual liberty protected by law, and free people creating free enterprise. The truth is, free enterprise has been stolen from us,---and that is why you can't an algebra problem. If government stayed out of our business, we would be able to compete. Your ability to prosper,---has been stolen from you.
Still happens today throughout the world be it third world countries or even America or the UK. Their is a reason why only the 1% have millions/billions.
Exploitation of the working class, economic monopolies and capitalism
Next time you hear someone being called a dumbbell, you will now know how the use of that term came about. If, you paid attention. I wonder if the more dated "dunce" was less prefered as to possibly being overly harsh a reference. Maybe dunce was more common on the "other side of the pond".
I will be teaching my daughter all of this so sad
At least you will be teaching her, I dare say many young people will be left to do as they please. Now, that "is" sad.
Myself and a Mr frank drain rebuildt the bakery next to the co-op by the workers cottages there in Style back in 85
Tony looks like that Greg company guy!!
God 28.40 please stop winding the damn clock up, he's explaining some facts to you!!!
I'm far more of a fan of the water mills than the coal powered ones. The way nature was harnessed and the technology is just incredible! But the exploitation of the workers, especially children is just horrendous!
Totally agree, keep in mind this wasn't a choice they made though, steam power hadn't been invented yet.
Yet they lined up to go to work and make some money. Why? During the early industrial revolution there was a lot to learn about hazards and such. But the alternative was like always before,---starvation. The 1800's was a very special century with enough liberty to advance ourselves. "The exploitation of workers" is a main argument from communism, that hates citizens creating free enterprise. We better learn where these "catch phrases" come from.
Who’s watching this because your History teacher gave you this for AMD work 😂😂
There is a big difference between loyalty and worship!
I wonder what they what do they do with all the stuff these historic mills make and how much the material cost?
Who's here for history homework in QUARANTINE?

Cotton the most water hungry fabric grown in the driest countries. Gotta love the Empire lol
"I wanna uncover their stooorrppphhhhhh
Interesting. The only aspect of the film which kept gnawing at me was when the topic of the factory workers clothing. Having worked in both blue & white collar jobs it never occurred to me that fashion is more of a white collar worker's purview than blue collar. In my current job, I am only concerned if my clothing are affordable, easily cleaned, comfortable, depending on the task, and protective. The experts, in the show, kept emphasizing that the poor factory grunt did not get fashionable choices in their working garb. A small thing, but one which too many in the white collar world are oblivious.
Tony has given himself quite the education in history with the programming he has hosted. I wonder what his perspective on the present is....
Is this about the Mills of Manchester?
They were oblivious to the impact to the environment at the time. Would dread to live in London during the industrial revolution.
They weren't entirely oblivious, they just didn't care. We emit far more carbon today and still nobody cares, yet we know the science now.
I’d like to live in Edinburgh during it, well dark and dodgey and stinking. Basically the same as it is now but with cheaper beer.

if anyone in mr cahills history is here hi
Hey 👍
Actually, he is quite similar to Greg
Making of modern Alabama
There is some truth to that. Don't think of Alabama as exclusive in that regard, it is certainly more widespread.
How did Britain have cotton mills before the invention of the cotton gin? Even with slave labor, cotton wasn't a profitable crop as long as the seeds had to be removed from the fiber by hand.
Long staple or "Sea Island" cotton, which did not require the cotton gin, was exported to England from the British West Indies (especially Barbados) and from coastal South Carolina before the cotton gin. Barbados was exporting cotton prior to 1700. Whitney's invention led to a vast expansion in the cotton textile industry, but the industry itself existed before Whitney.
@@christianpatriot7439The soil and climate conditions for "Sea Island" cotton were confined to limited areas, limiting the total possible crop. Short staple or "Upland" cotton can be grown over a wider area but, as you pointed out, was not profitable until after the invention of Whitney's cotton gin.
The cotton gin was invented to pull cotton fibres from the cottonseeds and was not used to spin the cotton into threads. Therein is your answer should you ever learn to do proper research into a subject.
'nuf sed.
@@Wotdermatter I agree with your first sentence. I do not understand how it connects with your second sentence. Please explain. Thank you for your trouble.
@@Wotdermatter This issue is totally over your head. You cannot spin cotton without first removing the seeds.
i just wanna know what a mule room is pls
The mule room is the room where they stretched the cotton and the kids swept under. You know the room with all those string machines? I hope I’m not too late
So not much has changed then.
No much has changed. Depending on where you live factories, dairies and the such are actually really great compared to back then. Back then you’d lose a finger and they’d work you to death the moment they thought you could bear with the pain. You lose a finger or a hand now, you get insurance, depending on where you work the company would be willing to pay and medical fees necessary and you get paid leave until you are doing much better. Any companies that work their employees like this should be reported by depending on what the issue is either the OSHA, UFWA, and many other organizations protecting workers!
Of course this is my experience and families experience with this line of work. If you experience anything different, definitely look into it from a legal standpoint chances are what your workplace is doing is illegal and should be reported! But different countries different laws so I am so so sorry if this is the case for you 🥺.
@@luisbarraza5015 Even though factory life was brutal back then, they didn't work you to "death". If you lost a finger, they'd patch you up and let you go back to work. If you couldn't work, they'd send you back to the poor work houses, where pay was less, but not quite as brutal.
@@squatch545 often times in the industrial revolution, the poor living conditions of that era, malnutrition, and an array of sicknesses, were extremely common in the work force. This would inevitably lead to a lot of deaths during work. The average life expectancy of this mill in specifically was 37 and that’s actually amazing, the owners had a reason to pride themselves over better conditions, but the average life expectancy in most factories in the cities was 17.
@@luisbarraza5015 Source for your numbers?
Nice documentary but why is there such a music? This isn't an action movie. And please add subtitles
Who's here from Wolsey Hall Oxford Homeschooling
Demand for fashion is still on going for the mass and the affluent; The factories has just been relocated to other countries for exploitation and cheap labor. Our Lands, the Air, and Water all polluted.
26:24
To this day, you won’t find The Sun on sale anywhere in Liverpool.
In my view, the Gregs actually ruined Britain. The discontent they caused to the workers has dragged on centuries now. Abuse, exploitation and suffering has made the British worker fundamentally suspicious toward their employers. I believe in open relations to all levels of a factory. If you can't handle that, don't have or run a factory.
Yet this "interesting" documentary tries hard to portray the workers as "happy" or "well-fed" by comparing them with the unemployed masses.
if anyone watched this can u guys tell me what are the advances and pitfalls of the industrial revolution due to this video? yup thanks

What do you call a "child prisoner with a job"? You'd think we'd have a term for something like that.....

Its sad to see children abuse. They need human rights.
But they are kids
Well housed, well fed, well clothed and deaf/crippled by the age of 20. Some bargain.
@Jack Sparrow What choice did children have when their own parents could turn them over to the factory owners?
dont wear a gas mask Flynn
😩
The right to speak out against exploitation ? Perhaps back then but not no 'mo.

100th comment
This is the most intensely bootlicker doc I've seen in ages. Absolutely wild!
What do you mean bootlicker? Having opportunity to work in order to be rewarded and improve your life is bootlicking? Would you prefer they didn't have the opportunity to work in the new factories and improve their lives?
Bob Domler no bootlicker in that it shows members of the ruling socio-economic class as loving, well-meaning caretakers who were just doing their best for people, as if they weren’t the ones in full control of their workers’ lives. they exploited a group of people who had no ability to speak against them by offering them conditions that seemed preferable (if negligibly) to the uncertainty of agricultural life. they utilized human beings as a disposable resource while putting profits and productivity above the well-being of their laborers. and this documentary expects us to laud them as revolutionaries who made a few errors. boot. lickers.
@@gilbert7119 You said it yourself. They offered them preferable conditions. That's called opportunity dude. So you're opposed to giving people opportunity to improve their lives? We'd all still be poor dirt farmers if you had your way. You communists are mad.
Bob Domler 😂 okay, bud. reading comprehension is hard i guess. have fun with your sanctimoniousness! ✌️
@@gilbert7119 Have fun with your historical conspiracy theory that leads to the death of nations.
Insane. This was exploitation and low key slavery.
135 dislikes just so everyone knows
Sheesh
Not everybody falls for this blatant propaganda. Thank Goodness.
modern people complain on living conditions during that time. But let me do some maths. Average men would earn 40 shillings per month, average woman would earn 20 shillings per month. Assuming that a family would have just one child old enough to work in the factory, this child would earn 4 shilling per month. at the same time the same family would pay in average 5 shillings per month for the accommodation. If the family earned 48 shillings per month they would spend about 7.8% of the wages on rent or 12.5% if we take into account only the male wages. In modern UK, according to the office of national statistics, average person spend 30% of his/her wages on rent. Say what u want, but poor families during Industrial revolution were wealthier then we are today.
Now you know where the game came from AKA RAT RACE. System. Time. And Punishment. Public system too. In it's earlier format still savage. Slavery was like: Come get this work. On repeat aka employment. 🤣
"Built on the back of child labour". What absolute piffle, that was enough to set the tone though.
Half the workers at the mill were under18
it literally was you dolt.
@Trivanda
Hear hear. The British stole the knowledge of how to cast large metallic objects from the people of India. In doing so, they were able to start the Industrial Revolution in Britain, and in turn, spark a revolution throughout the rest of the world.
The iron object, a pillar, still exists today, in Istanbul, Turkey, where the British brought it. It can be found in the middle of a roundabout, with no mention to it's significance to our current civilization, and where it came from. It appears the British didn't want to promote the origins of the Industrial Revolution.

jeez creepy
tony you already did that back in worst jobs in history
