Before the Industrial Revolution, British society was roughly divided into two major classes: the nobles and the peasants and it was mostly an agrarian society.

However, the Industrial Revolution caused a rapid urbanization and the exodus of many people from the villages to the blooming industrial cities.

There were also members of a middle class such as teachers, doctors or scientists that managed to live in better conditions than the proletarians but did not have the money or political influence of the capitalists and they did not own the means of production.
