You could argue that it did make britain very rich, and it became the center fo the world throughout that age.
Negative sides:
Many industral workers were little more than slaves, including children. There was no pollution control, and many areas are still unusable. Poor worker health and high morbidity resulted from insustrialisation.

There is no question that British people today owe their comparative prosperity to the industrial revolution. Until the industrial revolution the British economy depended on agriculture. If we look at agriculturally dependant countries today we can see that they have one factor in common and that is poverty.
The richest countries today have either finite natural resources, such as oil or diamonds or they have technology and a technologically based economy is a direct result of the evolution of the industrial revolution.
By contrast, it would have been a disaster for Britain to try to pursue a mostly agricultural economic economy because of limited land and a climate which makes even the land which is available fallow for half of every year.

Read Howard's End by E.M. Forster to get a perspective on this. It discusses the role emerging technology played on England in the early 20th Century.
