If you have a question about this talk, please contact Dr Sally K Church .

Yesterday’s revision is today’s accepted wisdom and so the revisionist view of the English Industrial Revolution has, over the past decades, become fairly established. The 1760-1830 period is no longer seen as one of fast and widespread economic change, but as one in which growth and technological innovation was limited to certain, rather small section of the national economy. Overall productivity and economic growth was slow. New research on Britain’s historical occupational structure by the Cambridge Group is questioning this perceived wisdom.
