Industrial Revolution in England

During the continuation of the industrial revolution in England (which had begun in the 17th Century), in the 19th century, a similar problem had cropped up. Winston Churchill was the prime minister of England.
As the industrial revolution was continuing and space and resources were required, plans to include country regions had to be taken for which Southampton was under consideration. The tenants were placed, and leases were called upon. Southampton was an agricultural and pasture region. Due to the fear that the farmers in Southampton will loose their jobs, a mass protest was organized against this move.
Winston Churchill did not want any hindrance of the whole progress of the revolution; hence he promised the farmers that the industries which were being planned would be shifted to Liverpool, another region, which unlike Southampton, had meager resources.
He also promised the farmers extra revenue from the resources that they were producing, if placed for the industrial development in Liverpool. The situation was calmed down as the government decides to bear the brunt of transportation loss.
