"Necessity is the mother of invention" - A popular saying which can be true of the industrial revolution in Britain in the 18th and 19th centuries. As a result of the rapidly increasing population during this time, there was a high demand and need for essential items (such as clothing and food) to enable the population to survive. This meant the invention of machines and tools for the mass production of goods, to accommodate the people. The invention of machines led to factories, trading opportunities, transport networks and economic growth. It was the increase in population which lead to these discoveries, and the most important factor in the development of industry in Britain.

The building of factories and advances in farming methods led to mass production. To accommodate for the increase in produce to feed and clothe a huge population, the goods needed to be transported over the country. This factor led to the advances in transportation and sparked trade development amongst other nations. Ships were improved into stronger and bigger steam ships to carry goods across water and trains transported goods across the land. Ships and trains were great inventions, which allowed a quicker means of transport for the growing population. The transportation and trade improvements allowed the population to travel and played a huge part in the industrialisation of Britain. This development of transportation and trade was necessary due to the growing population.
