The industrial revolution in Wales

The industrial revolution in Wales
In 1801 Wales and mounmouthshire had a population of 587,245, fairly evenly distributed over the land, since the vast majority of the people were engaged in agriculture or in related occupation as the industrial revolution developed, and particularly after 1841 the rural exodus, accompanied by the of many which had supplemented the earnings of agriculture, led to an enormous concentration of Wales and mounmouthshire.
Trade unionism has long been a potent force in south Wales. The first important organization of miners and ironworkers was the union club, after its suppression in 1831 there came into existence a secret society, the scotch Cattle, whose symbol was a bull´s head and horns.
In the 1860s the amalgamated association of miners, a rival to the national miners union, ganied much support in Wales.
