England is the first country which is industrialized in the history. The new periodwas created on the basis of England’s precious heritage of nature–coal. Because ofthe abundance of coal, the industrialization pace and level of England were muchbetter than other countries in half a century or longer than this. It’s the coal thatsupported the beginning and the development of England’s industrialization, so thatEngland became the center of the world’s industry at that time.When the coal brung endless and limitless energy to England, it also brung aseries of social problems such as how to explore coal effectively? How to runcoal-related manufacture safely? How to avoid coal disaster? These conflicts grewup in the development and also been resolved gradually in the development ofEngland’s coal industry.The thesis recalls the developments of England’s coal manufacture before theindustrialization. There are some deep history reasons why the coal industry couldbe so booming during the industrialization. England used to using charcoal as thetraditional fuel, but as the industry expanded and the persons grew, more and morefuel was needed during the development. The conflict between the supply and theneed stimulated the development of England’s coal industry. The development ofcoal industry was manifested in many aspects. On the surface level, the layout ofcoal industry was spread and the distribution of it was balanced. On the deep level,the explore technology, investment model, producing efficiency, export model andproducing equipments were updated and so on.The development also brung many social problems into England. The mostobvious one was the producing safety problem. How to deal with many kinds of coaldisasters during the developments? The first thing English men have done was toupgrade the technology and to update the machines. There is an abundant content ofthe update of machines such as update the safety light and upgrade the technology. Inaddition to the upgrade of technology, England also deals with the coal disasters onthe legislation level. There are some legislation on coal producing safety in themiddle and later stage in the industrialization. This plays an important role both inthe industrialization and in the coal industry in the modern life.The development of England’s coal industry promoted the development of thesociety of England. After the accomplishment of the industrialization based on coal,England stepped into industrialized society and the human beings also stepped into a new period. Developments of coal industry also drove the evolution and promotionof other industries. For instance, many railways were built up for transporting coalsso that railways stepped from industry into citizens’ real life. The development ofEngland’s coal industry gave great impetus to the growth of England’s economy.Meanwhile, it also influenced the society of England deeply. The combination ofcoal and iron together with the combination of coal and steam machine fastened thedevelopment of England and the whole world.There was a difficult way for England to change from frequent coal disastersproducing to high-efficiency and low possibility of coal disasters producing. Theexperiences during this change is very precious and is deserved to be thought deeplyand be learnt by Chinese coal industry.
