Solution
The course of the Industrial Revolution that changed the face of life in England is described under on the basis of given head:
Iron and Coal Industries: In 1785, Edmund Cartwright, invented a weaving loom, which could be driven by horses. Later, this loom was so much improved as to be operated by water-power. Now, that there was a greater demand for textile goods, a quicker device was needed for separating cotton fibers from the seeds. In 1793, an American, named, Eli Whitney, invented a cotton gin. It could separate the seeds from fibers three hundred times faster than the fastest hand. Textile trade of England prospered amazingly because of those inventions. At this time, Lancashire and Yorkshire became the two most important industrial centers of cotton and wool textiles respectively.
