What was life like in the industrial revolution?

during the industrial revolution, It was the great age of science and it was becoming increasingly secular. There was a heavier reliance on machinery which meant less manual labour and loss of jobs.
The introduction of factories in London meant that there was mass migration from the countrysides to the cities in order to get jobs. As a result of the migration, Many cities like London and Manchester became over populated and became riddled with disease.

Social classes were dominant and there was virtually a caste system ideology. The poor were incredibly poor and had nothing, whereas the middle and upper classes were educated, making money from industrialisation and factories.
