What was the evolutionary path of development expressed in Great Britain in the 17th-18th centuries?

In the XVII-XVIII the industrial revolution took place in Great Britain. It was in this country that discoveries began to be applied in practice. This primarily concerned the invention of the steam engine. Great Britain improved the novelty and, on its basis, began to manufacture first water pumps, and then use it in industry.

During this period, engineering and metallurgy began to develop in Great Britain. The first blast furnaces appeared to produce pig iron. The invention of the loom made it possible to avoid manual labor. Weaving workshops began to be built in large numbers at a rapid pace. It was here that the first railway was built. Thanks to the industrial revolution, the standard of living of the population has increased significantly.
