Samuel Greg<\/h3>\n
Samuel Greg built a large cotton mill in Styal, south of Manchester. His investment was around \u00a316,000, a lot of money in the late 18th century. His factory was built on land rented from the Earl of Stamford and Warrington and was manned largely by children<\/a> from the local workhouse<\/a>. Greg’s vision led to him becoming a very wealthy man.<\/p>\n Titus Salt made his fortune in the Wool trade. He owned a number of mills<\/a> in Bradford. Salt saw the possibilities of a different type of wool, Alpaca, and established a buying system that ensured that he was the only person able to produce Alpaca wool in this country. His gamble was a definite success and he used his wealth to build a massive new factory<\/a> and village for his workers six miles outside of Bradford. His choice of location was ideal. The site had access to the River Aire, was next to the canal and later had access to the Railways<\/a>. Salts Mill<\/a> was the largest in Europe at the time. Salt made a fortune from Alpaca wool, clothing made from which became the most desirable garments of the era.<\/p>\n Before the Industrial Revolution<\/a>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Famous Factories<\/a>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Women and Children during the Industrial Revolution<\/a>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Migration<\/a>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Inventions and Inventors<\/a>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0The Workhouse<\/a>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Life in an Industrial Town<\/a>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Industrialists and Philanthropists<\/a>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Railways and Canals<\/a>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Housing in the Industrial Revolution<\/a>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Working Conditions<\/a>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Disease in the Industrial Revolution<\/a>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Chartists and the Peoples Charter<\/a>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Luddites<\/a>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Swing Riots<\/a>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Rebecca Riots<\/a>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Protests, Riots and Conspiracies of the Industrial Age<\/a>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Public Health in the Industrial Revolution<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Industrialists and Philanthropists of the Industrial Revolution Industrialists are the people who own and develop industry.
