In the 1700s, Manchester became a significant center for the cotton industry, but it was not until the late 18th century that steam-driven factories began to emerge. By the end of the century, there were only a few steam-powered cotton mills operating in the city, as the widespread adoption of steam power in cotton manufacturing really took off in the early 19th century. Thus, while there were some steam-driven factories in Manchester by the late 1700s, they were relatively limited in number compared to the rapid expansion that followed.
