a few off the top of my head
enclosure movement- property became a commodity, no more "common grounds" see growth of wool trade
agricultural revolution-farming became more efficient and commercialized. This not only created surplus capital for private investment (for industry, technology). Also ag. thus required less labor and made possible a labor surplus (workers for factories in urban areas)
Limited aristocracy (limited from the time of william the conquer) . - unlike France with its many aristocrats that thought work or commerce was beneath them, the landed gentry in England (upper class though different from the aristocracy) were more willing to engage in investment and enterprise.
geography- GB was an island thus spared (directly) from the Continent's wars
Abundant Coal deposits - steam power (engine was invented by Watt in Scotland) \
political stability made progress possible
spirit of limited government, goes back to the Magna Carter, Supremacy of Parliament firmly est. post the English civil war
