This short film looks at the contribution of Irish migrants to Britain’s Industrial Revolution, and how this country owes much of its transport network and housing stock to their work here.

Search - BBC teach - Class Clips - History KS3 / GCSE: Jewish migration to Manchester in the late 1800s BBC Teach > Secondary Resources > KS3 / GCSE History > Migration In this short film for secondary schools historian David Olusoga visits Manchester which, along with the other industrial manufacturing towns surrounding it, acted as a magnet for waves of economic migrants from all over the world. In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, 30,000 Jewish migrants from Russia and Eastern Europe settled in Manchester. David Olusoga meets Janice Haber and her family, the descendents of Jewish migrants, and talks to historian Ruth Percy who describes how Conservative politicians and right wing newspapers of the time exploited economic concerns associated with the new migrants, stoking up racist xenophobia against migrants like the Jews, which would become familiar throughout the 1900’s. The arrival of the Jews and other migrants led to changes in the law, and to the emergence of modern immigration legislation – laws that persist to this day.

Search - BBC Teach - Class Clips - How British migrants made fortunes working for the East India Company European powers started trading with India from the early 1500’s.

Over the following 200 years the company became increasingly prominent in the European trading routes with India. Historian David Olusoga, meets Professor Margot Finn, an expert on the period, and profiles the Russell family who purchased Swallowfield House near Reading, which is today a block of luxury flats.

In 1709, in an area in Blackheath in south London, 13,000 German migrants called the Palatines formed what became regarded as Britain’s first refugee camp. They spoke different languages and belonged to different churches and became a curiosity for thousands of Londoners of the period. Most hoped to travel on to Carolina in the New World, after promises of work and prosperity, but in the end only a few made the trip to North America, and many returned to Germany. Olusoga meets Dr. Brodie Waddell from Birkbeck at the University of London, who is an expert on this period. This short film is from the BBC series, Migration.

BBC Teach - Class Clips - History KS3 & KS4/GCSE: The brains behind the Industrial Revolution. Worksheet to support the BBC documentary extract Coal and steam are easy factors to identify in the Industrial Revolution but brains were another key factor. Eminent scientists like Sir Isaac Newton and Robert Boyle had made important discoveries about gravity, and the behaviour of gases. These discoveries were harnessed and turned into business ideas by men like James Watt and his business partner Matthew Boulton. Britain’s political system aided these developments. Compared to most European states, the British Parliament held very little control over the economy, preferring to leave businessmen to run businesses rather than interfering. At the same time, there was very little censorship or control of ideas and publications, so ideas could be circulated and developed. In London, scientists met and discussed ideas at the Royal Society. In the Midlands, the Lunar Society did much the same. Many scientists were interested in knowledge for its own sake, but there were others who were able to turn these ideas into new technologies to make fortunes too.

In the summer of 1861, David Livingstone and a small band of missionaries travelled to what is now Malawi to establish the virtues of two Victorian obsessions – ‘Christianity and commerce’. However, what Livingstone found in Africa shocked him. Britain had abolished slavery in the Empire decades before, but he still found Africans being captured and sold by Portuguese and Arab slavers. He made it his mission to rid West Africa of slavery. His crusade captured the minds of the public back home. People believed the Empire could be about more than conquest and dominance; it could be a force for good and justice. This clip is from the BBC series Empire. Jeremy Paxman travels the world exploring different aspects of the British Empire. He sets off in search of the extraordinary characters, burning ambitions and surprising principles which created an empire four times the size of ancient Rome.

Written to support the BBC Teach Olusoga extract BBC Teach > Secondary Resources > KS3 / GCSE History > Migration Search - BBC Teach - Class Clips - Black people in Britain during the Atlantic slave trade era In this short film, historian David Olusoga looks at the lives of Black people in Britain in the 1600s and 1700s. He looks at portraits in Ham House in Surrey, which feature images of young Black men and women as part of family groups of aristocrats. Olusoga talks to Professor James Walvin, who suggests that often these figures were invented and were part of the exoticism associated with international trade and enslavement. Walvin describes Black people in the UK as the ‘flotsam and jetsam’ of the slave trade, individuals who found themselves in the UK. Most were in domestic service. Some were sailors in transit in and out of the ports. By the late 18th century the ideas of the French Revolution were spreading and some Black people were starting to have a political impact on British society. These included Robert Wedderburn, who argued passionately for the emancipation of Black slaves and poor whites.
