.In any factory in England you would have seen steam engines,because steam was the driving force behind The Industrial Revolution.Nothing would have been possible without STEAM POWER.
You would also have seen immensely complicated machines for turning metal, and looms for weaving cotton which was imported from the southern states of America.
The complicated machines:lathes,looms,milling machines were the equivalent
to computers today.They enabled one operator to control many machines(bit of dashing about between machines,obviously!) but because these machines were so cleverly designed they ran nearly automatically.
At the same period England found new ways of producing high quality iron and steel,and massive steel mills were built in most major cities(like a lot of Pittsburghs spread all over the country), and especially in the North and Midlands.
Steam,Iron,and increasingly complex machines meant that England became "The Workshop of The World"
The Victorian engineers thought that anything was possible.They had immense self-confidence.
Steam led to railway engines,and inevitably to a huge network of railways which could tranport all the these new goods being produced.
Inevitably,machinery led to pollution,and anyone who's been near a steam engine will recognise the smell of burnt coal,oil,and steam.
Far worse was the sulfurous smoke given out by factory chimneys which caused the famous English fogs and blackened the city buildings. Nobody really worried about the oily,sulfurous dirt and smell because it was seen as an inevitable sign of progress.
There was a saying in Manchester:
"Where there's Muck(dirt) there's Brass(money)"
You would also have noticed the small houses all side-by-side and joined together.They were built by the factory-owners for their workers,and were rented out for a quite small rent.
Despite the clanging and rattling in the mills and workplaces the streets would have been remarkably quiet because all the traffic would have been horse-drawn.
Not a bad place to be really. If you wanted to be at the cutting-edge of the greatest advances in technology and science.

The compound steam engine. It gave delivery to useful railways and extra useful purposes of means to production industries. there have been many different innovations too that have been ancilliary to it particularly in metallurgy, mechanical and structural engineering. one that is in lots of instances neglected is the tunnelling guard invented with the aid of Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
