The Industrial Revolution was a period in the late 18th and early 19th centuries when major changes in agriculture manufacturing and transportation had a profound effect on the The Peak Forest Tramway was originally planned to be about four miles (6 km long from Chapel Milton to Dove Holes, both in Derbyshire.
