How did coal and iron play a role in the origins of the industrials revolutions in great Britain?
Coal provided an essential fuel which allowed cities to become industrialised as factories no longer needed water power and so didn't have to be located near a source of water. They could be built in mass in cities where it was easier to house a workforce. Therefore coal provided a means for steam powered factories which were an essential part of the industrial revolution. Also, coal would later be used in steam powered trains, in which the goods from the factories could be transported, thus allowing further expansion. Iron was essential for creating the new machinery at the forefront of the industrial revolution. Rough answer but there you go.
