textile industry
On the eve of the Industrial Revolution, spinning and weaving were done in households, for domestic consumption and as a cottage industry under the mothballing system. Occasionally the work was done in the workshop of a master weaver. Under the mothballed system, homeworkers produced under contract with merchant sellers, who often supplied the raw materials. In the off-season the women, typically the farmers' wives, spun and the men weaved. -

Railway mania
The construction of railway networks was not a major element of the British industrial revolution. The railway and its steam locomotive could only expand with the introduction of the steam engine which did not take place before 1830. The railways were the subject of a real and very intense speculative bubble in the period of the 1840s (the so-called Railway Mania, especially in 1844-1847), also favored by the 'laissez-faire' attitude of the Bank of England.
