How Did Manchester Respond To The Industrial Revolution?

The Industrial Revolution was a period of rapid technological development, that originated in Britain. The revolution forced many people to move to the cities, due to the lack of jobs in agriculture, and cities quickly became overcrowded. These cities then collected with the dirt and filth of the people, which combined with the thick smoke now pouring out of factories. Manchester suffered the worst, as people moved to Manchester, the city grew significantly, but was still incredibly crowded and sanitation was nonexistent. People had little to eat, pitiful wages, and any response was largely ineffective for many years. Manchester grew at an incredibly rapid rate, factories and development everywhere you went, and the city only grew more crowded.
