How the Victorians Built Britain - Season 1, Episode 04: The Birth of the Machines
TrailerMichael Buerk looks at the creation of mass manufacturing, which meant that goods could be produced at a rate that had never been seen before. In Manchester, he learns how engineer George Stephenson created the first intercity railway, so that cotton could be transported quickly and cheaply from Liverpool docks to Manchester's mills. Michael also discovers how the sewing machine - newly created in 1851 - created the rag trade, and visits what was probably the first shopping mall in the UK, the Burlington Arcade in London.Genre: Documentary, HistoryActors: Michael BuerkDirector: Madeleine Gerry, Stuart StricksonCountry: United KingdomDuration: 60 minQuality: HDRelease: 2018IMDb: 8.40 CommentsSort By- Newest
