The Birth of the Railway Age 1820-1845. The Industrial Revolution was one of the defining eras of modern history, when Britain became the 'Workshop of the World'. One of the most significant factors in bringing about this radical change was the revolution in transport without which the other elements would not have been possible, or would have occurred much more slowly. It was the coming of the railway that, for the first time, truly knitted the country together, bringing as it did uniform national time. Detailed, comprehensive and fascinating, this will become the definitive account of this vital period in Britain's transport and economic history.
