Britain's Industry and Trade Britain lives by industry and trade. Her 55.5 million people provide one of the world's biggest markets for food and raw materials. Just over 2000 years ago the first industrial revolution began in Britain with such inventions as the steam engine and the first machinery for textiles. Later, British inventors and engineers gave the world the first railways, steamships, pneumatic tyres, miners' safety lamps, mechanical reapers, matches and many other things that are now familiar everywhere. Today, in a new age of modern technology, Britain has such new industries as electronics and telecommunications equipment, in aircraft and aircraft engines, in plastics and synthetic materials, radio-isotopes and new drugs - all major exports. Engineering industries produce many leading exports: machinery, cars, tractors and commercial vehicles, bicycles and precision instruments of many kinds. Britain is the world's third largest trading nation. Britain's role as a trading nation, which holds a quarter of the world's population, includes a vast network of financial services. With its many famous institutions, such as the Bank of England, the Stock Exchange and Lloyd's and its international markets for commodities such as rubber, metals and tea, the City of London holds a place of first importance in world trade.
