Warwick

Warwick was always a market town rather than an industrial centre. However, with the coming of the canals, and improvements in communications, trade became more successful, and the population increased by about 10,000 people during the Industrial Revolution.

Warwick didn’t change much in the 19th century. There was a candle factory and a soda water factory, and pigs were sold in the market place. Considerable improvements were made architecturally though- like the construction of an iron bridge, giving better access to the town.
