Write about the cotton mill established by Richard Arkwright.

Richard Arkwright established the first cotton mill in London.

He had two contributions in changing the way cotton was spun. He added spacing to the rollers and added weights on rollers so that cotton won't snap and the yearns to be even.

• In 1771 he built a water-powered cotton mill in Cromford.

• Comford had plenty of flowing water which was used to run the machines in his factory.

• Many machines were run at one time to various works.

• People started working in a factory where all the processes to manufacture cotton goods were done under one roof to produce a finished product.

• The machines were made efficient to produce large quantities of spun cotton.

• The workers worked in shifts to keep the machines running round the clock.

• Comford mills provided workers with better working conditions.

• It also provided the workers with small cottages, generally, three-story high, to accommodate a few families. The condition of living was better than city dwellers.
