  • County Mayo had a thriving textile industry for centuries, influencing local development and economy. Textile mills employed thousands and played a significant role in Irish exports, especially wool and woven cloth. The establishment of Foxford Woollen Mills in the late 19th century was a social enterprise aimed at alleviating poverty. Despite challenges and changes in the textile industry, Foxford Mills remains operational, impacting the local community positively.

    Excellent documentary on technical / engineering & economic history &? present. But I miss a thorough answer to the question "What Was It Like To Work In A 19th Century Textile Mill?" What was the impact on the child workers & their health? How was the social impact on the workers of the Victorian era? It needs another documentary to answer this I think.

    The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in “advanced” countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in “advanced” countries.
