Technology

Technological changes are a very important factor in the success of Quarry Bank Mill. 

Without all the changes in the technological world Quarry Bank Mill and all other mills would have never had any business.

 Technological changes in such things like the weaving and spinning machines were the reasons for the domestic business changing into factories.

The changes in the machines to allow the mills to spin and make cotton faster than individuals in their own homes could were all down to the technology progresses. 

The changes in technology also helped the mills run their machines. It was the origin of the thoughts behind the headrace big wheels and gear systems that were behind the workings of the mill. 

With good technology and therefore a good fast cotton mill Samuel was able to turn his invested time and money into the mill into a huge profit.
