This term we have been looking at the Industrial Revolution. We started off by thinking about some of the changes that had taken place between 1750 and 1900. We then started to think about the reasons why the Industrial Revolution had happened first in Britain. We are now starting to look at the problems with life in towns. We looked at one of Gustave Dore’s paintings to help us do this and even interviewed the artist!

For more of Dore’s paintings you can look at this website from Cardiff University.
For more information about the problems with towns you could look here.
