In the 1800s the industrialization created many problems, because the rapid growth of cities brought a lot of people and with that more problem were being crated .for example Pollution created smoke, fouling of rivers, use of dangerous chemicals.

Over-crowding in the industrial towns, slums and epidemics of typhoid, cholera etc.

Loss of skilled manual work so that men often became displaced by women and children.

Sometimes Crime was a problem too because the new industrial towns were poorly supervised. In the country the squire (often also the magistrate), and the parson knew everyone and kept social order, in the towns there was often a 'wild west' atmosphere in the early 1800s, especially in the mining towns. Food adulteration a big problem too, with so many people needing fed and a lack of a proper system of food distribution there was a lot of adulteration of food, especially bread and milk. It was only when the railways became a national network that fresh food became available to everyone. A lack of water meant that baths were rare. Less than one in three homes in Manchester had any kind of toilet. Some neighborhoods had no sewers or drains. As a result, human waste sat in public cesspools or the streets. The combination of overcrowding and filth led to frequent outbreaks of disease. In 1847, for example, some 14,000 people in London died of cholera.
