Die Industriële Revolusie het in koning George III (r.1760-1820) se regeringstyd plaasgevind. Daar was oorgegaan na nuwe produksieprosesse vanaf 1760 tot 1840. Dit sluit die oorgang van handproduksie na masjienproduksie, nuwe chemiese vervaardiging en ysterproduksie prosesse, verbeterde doeltreffendheid van waterkrag, die toenemende gebruik van stoomkrag, en die ontwikkeling van die masjiengereedskap in. Dit het ook die verandering vanaf hout en ander bio-brandstof na steenkool ingesluit.
Tot aan die begin van die 1800's was die tekstielbedryf grootliks tuisgebaseerd. Min mense kon lees of skryf, maar was vaardige werkers wat vir swak betaling, vir lang ure hard gewerk het. Groot veranderinge het plaasgevind soos nuwe toerusting ontwikkel is en Mills gebou is. Die tuisnywerhede het daaronder gely. Mense oor die hele land het begin om desperaat te raak. Basic foods were at famine prices, flour and oatmeal being up to 9/- (45p) per stone – some 4 times more expensive than today, yet a skilled cropper, a top earner, was paid 24/- (£1.20) per week. Daarbenewens was werkloosheid hoog in ‘n land wat sonder geld was, as gevolg van die Napoleontiese oorloë, swak uitvoere en onbeheerbare inflasie. The early part of the 19th Century made up the most disastrous years that the working classes of England had known. Wages were low; hours were long; conditions of labour were uncontrolled; and prices of food and clothes were increased by heavy taxation. (Billington, David: Shepley, Believe it …… or Not!)
In 1773 is ‘n algemene Turnpike Act (tolhek) uitgebring wat toll bars ingesluit het. Each Parish was responsible for appointing surveyors. A turpike was literally a defensive frame of pikes that could be turned to allow passage of horses, but in this context it refers to a gate set across the road to stop passage until a toll was paid. The tolls were supposed to generate sufficient funds to maintain and improve the roads, which in the 17th century were becoming more popular with horse and cart, coach and pannier traffic. The Turnpike/Toll roads were the start of long distance commercial traffic routes and the first proper communication between major centres of population. A network of roads was established as post roads to convey letters. In 1784 the Royal Mail started an express ‘Postal Coach Service’. Tolls had to be paid by ‘foot passengers and for coaches, stage coaches, landaus, chariots ………… to horses, cattle, calves, swine and sheep’. Charges ranged from one farthing to 9d, depending upon category and only covered the journey to the next toll point. Local dung cart, hay wain and livestock movements were usually free. The Shepley Toll was opened in 1779 at Cliffe Top. (Billington, David: Shepley, Believe it …… or Not!)

Pad van bo af = Lane Head Road
Anti klokgewys links = Holmfirth Road gaan oor in Penistone Road en sluit aan by Lane Head Road
Net onder die aansluiting regs is die Barnsley Road
Paralel bokant hom is Carr Lane
Hoofroetes van Penistone, Barnsley, Wakefield, Huddersfield, New Mill, Holm Firth en die roetes van oor die Pennines kruis almal by Lane Head. Dit is daarom dat die tolhek paaie bekend geraak het as die Barnsley en Shepley Lane Head en die Greenfield en Shepley Lane Head paaie. Dit is duidelik dat Shepley Lane Head 'n baie belangrike en besige plek was.

Shepley is 24 myl van Doncaster af. Doncaster was tradisioneel welvarend binne die wapentake of Stafford and Tickhill. In the 18th century, Doncaster was a coaching town. Many stagecoaches
passed through Doncaster. Access to the town Doncaster was restricted and some
officeholders secured charters to collect tolls. Frickley with Clayton (All Saints), a parish, in the union of Doncaster, N. division of the wapentake of Strafforth and Tickhill, W. riding of York, 8 miles (W. N. W.) from Doncaster. There is a place of worship used by various denominations of dissenters.
Paul Wortley het in 1777 in die gemeente Frickley-Cum-Clayton gewoon. Hy het op 20 Julie 1777, Rotherham met Sarah Hobson getrou.
John Hobson, c.27/12/1702, Silkstone , Yorkshire, the son of Elias. He married on 29/12/1723 at Wentworth, Rotherham to Elizabeth Chatburn, born 1697 and christened on 28/01/1697 at Wentworth, Rotherham. Elizabeth was the daughter of John Chatburn born about 1664. She was buried 26/03/1764 at Waddington. They were the parents of 8 children. John, christened 09/10/1726, married Mary Revell 30/11/1752 at Rotherham. Children of John and Mary(Nee Revell), born Dalton, Rotherham: George Hobson c.19/07/1761, Rotherham; John Hobson c.28/04/1756, Rotherham, married Sarah Jenkins (b.abt.1760, Dalton) on 18 Apr 1776; Hannah Hobson c.04/03/1759 Wickersley; Anne Hobson c.25/03/1764 Wickersley; Sarah Hobson, christened 09/01/1754, married Paul Wortley 20/07/1777 at Rotherham.

Paul Wortley and Sarah Hobson. 1777. Trourekord.
WORTLEY, Paul (Bachelor, age ~, ~, residing at parish of Frickley-cum-Clayton). Married Sarah HOBSON, on July 20, 1777, by ~ (Banns) at Parish Church, Rotherham. Father's name is ~ (~).
In 1778, word Paul se beroep as ‘n Miller (Clayton
cum Frickley, Doncaster, South Yorks) aangegee. A miller is a person who owns or operates a mill, especially a mill that grinds grain into flour. (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Miller)
Gedurende 1680-1781 het mense se houdings teenoor meulenaars verander. Die meulenaar het sy ambag d.m.v. die vakleerlingstelsel geleer. Die vakleerling het vir 7 jaar by ‘n master craftsman gewoon en is soms sleg behandel. Die master craftsman se woord was wet en hy het onder hom gewerk totdat hy ‘n meester in eie reg was. Die vakleerling het geen regte gehad het nie. Hy het ook nie sy ambag voor andere beoefen of sy kennis gedeel nie. Die meulenaars het dikwels sy eie kinders, seuns en meisies as vakleerlinge opgelei. Meulenaars was in wit geklee, met 'n lae plat randlose hoed en 'n voorskoot. Milling has been a trade that has long been exempt from military service. Millers could stay at home, and make flour for the war effort and soldiers. (http://www.angelfire.com/journal/millbuilder/interview.html)
Paul en Sarah se oudste seun, John is op 12 Julie 1778, Frickley with Clayton Yorks gebore en op 9 Augustus 1778 gedoop.
Tweede was William, gebore op 2 Februarie 1781, Clayton Frickley en gedoop op 25 Februarie 1781, Rotherham.

In 1757 is 'n onafhanklike gemeente in Masbrough gestig. Die eerste gebou in 1763 opgerig, is deur 'n nuwe een in 1777 vervang. (http://www.rotherhamunofficial.co.uk/villages/masbrough.html)
Masborough . (http://www.rotherhamweb.co.uk/district/masbro.htm)
Masborough - In the township of Kimberworth, and parish of Rotherham, upper-division of Strafforth and Tickhill; situated half a mile north west of Rotherham, and 6½ miles from Sheffield. (About Masborough, Rotherham) During the 18th century land was enclosed. That means it was divided up so each farmer had all his land in one place instead of scattered across 3 fields. Enclosure allowed farmers to use their land more efficiently. (Lambert, Tim: Daily life in 18th century Britain) The common land in Masbrough including areas of Holmes were subject to an Enclosures Act in 1765. In all 103 acres in the Masbrough area were enclosed. (http://www.rotherhamunofficial.co.uk/villages/masbrough.html) Die mense wat van die platteland af na dorpe toe gekom het, moes hulle lewens aanpas by hulle nuwe omstandighede en dit was onvermydelik dat hulle, net soos die werkers wat alreeds in die dorpe gewoon het, swaarkry sou leer ken.
(Rotherham: The unofficial website)
I don't think that there were ever more than a few cottages here so it hardly qualifies as a village at all. (http://www.rotherhamunofficial.co.uk/villages/masbrough.html) Hierdie verskillende villages vloei inmekaar en lê aan die noordelike kant van die flood plains van die Donrivier, ‘n rivier wat sy vloei gereeld verander. Gedurende reënseisoene en vloede was die grootste gedeelte van hierdie area onder water. So until our ancestors began to improve the course of the river some parts of these areas would have been unusable for part of the year and pretty claggy for the rest. (http://www.rotherhamunofficial.co.uk/villages/masbrough.html)
Van Millmoor in Masbrough word geskryf: My
father was born and brought up in Masbrough in a little two up two down
terraced house … He reckoned it was a dump then, and sorry all you
Masbroughians, its a dump now. The housing isn't anything to write home about
and there are still works, workshops and scrapyards and Rotherham United FC's
old ground at Millmoor. The Millers left here some years ago following a
dispute with the landlord. (http://www.rotherhamunofficial.co.uk/villages/masbrough.html)

Die industriële revolusie in die laat 18de eeu het
die manier waarop mense in Brittanje gelewe het, verander. Die Masbrough
gebied was een van forges and works
met 'n paar groot huise vir die base en behuising van baie swak gehalte vir die
werkers. (Rotherham: The unofficial website)
