BBC Teach Class Clips - Why did Britain need a better road network? - Worksheet to support the BBC video
In the early 1700s Britain’s road networks were simply not up to the task of moving the goods around the country which needed to be moved.
Most of the roads were ancient, potholed and too small for modern business to be carried out.
As Britain began to industrialise, this lack of transport made it very difficult to transport raw materials like coal or cotton.
It was especially difficult for a businessman like Josiah Wedgwood, who reckoned that he sometimes lost one third of his shipments of pottery on Britain’s terrible roads.
In 1706 Parliament passed the Turnpike Act which allowed private road builders to build new roads and charge tolls for using them.
It was a first, important step towards the road transport network we know in Britain today.
This short film is from the BBC series, Why the Industrial Revolution Happened Here.

BBC Teach Class Clips-History KS3 / KS4: The Barbados Slave Code - Worksheet to support the Olusoga extract
Historian David Olusoga investigates the spread of the Barbados Slave Code across British colonies during the eighteenth century and its social and economic impact.
He begins his narrative with the English settlement of Barbados in 1627 which resulted decades later in a lucrative sugar cane industry covering 40% of the island and cultivated by enslaved Africans.
The clip emphasises the harsh and racist provisions of the code and its role in creating a slave society and economy controlled by the use of severe violence.
British records quote Africans as being referred to as ‘heathenish’ and ‘brutal’.
This is from the series: Britain’s Forgotten Slave Owners

BBC Teach - The story of British indentured workers emigrating to America
Search - BBC Teach - Class Clips - History KS3 / GCSE: The story of British indentured workers emigrating to America
Four hundred years ago all manner of children, teenagers, and young men and women, mainly from the poorest families, were sent, often against their will, to board ships leaving from Bristol across the Irish Sea, and into the Atlantic Ocean.
They were sent to meet the growing demand for cheap labour in Britain’s newly created colonies in North America.
From 1610 to American independence in 1776, half a million people left Britain for North America.Some were political and religious dissenters, like the Puritans, Quakers and the Irish and Scottish Presbyterians.And some were convicts, sent by the British government to clear out its overcrowded prisons.
But around half - that’s a quarter of a million - were indentured servants.
And most were sent against their will.
In this short film David Olusoga meets writer Don Jordan, who tells the stories of some of these young people.
This short film is from the BBC series, Migration
