Pre-Industrial Revolution England- Elizabeth Miller Yr 10 The pre industrial revolution society that I have chosen to research is England. ... At this time England had a population of around 2,750,000, the majority of whom lived in small villages in England’s south, or in one of the six large cities that existed in England at this time. ... England, although relatively small in terms of population, was fast becoming a very prosperous nation. ... On the other hand life was very easy for the 2% of England’s population that was part of the noble, gentry or upper class. ... This is how England started trade. ... England began exporting products such as wool and iron. ... In the period leading up to the Industrial Revolution the people of England used sources of energy that our current society would find very primitive. ... Another useful source of energy that many people, mistakenly assume was developed during the industrial revolution was the power of steam. ... Strangely enough, out of all the energy sources the people of England used the most efficient was the oldest in design – the water wheel.
