Solution

The two most dynamic industries in Britain were:

(i) Cotton Textile

(ii) Metals

With the expansion of railways, in England from the 1840s and in the colonies from the 1860s, the demand for iron and steel increased rapidly. By 1873 Britain was exporting iron and steel worth about £ 77 million, double the value of its cotton export.
