An anthology assembled by documentary filmmaker Humphrey Jennings of first-hand accounts of the Industrial Revolution in Britain, from 1660 to 1886. Drawing on letters, diaries, poems, scientific papers and reports by writers, engineers, scientists and ordinary observers, it shows how people who had never seen machines responded to the coming of steam power, factories and railways.
