In the mid 19th century the Industrial Revolution brought greater numbers of workers to the city, all of who needed somewhere to live. Whole neighbourhoods grew up around the various industries. Most of their inhabitants were within walking distance from work, and therefore living with the dirt and noise from the various collieries, brickyards, smelting works, tanneries, glassworks and potteries, knackers yards, engine sheds and factories. In the south and east of the city the transformation was dramatic. Bedminster, for example, changed from a Somerset parish with a population of 3,000 in 1801, to a largely self-contained industrial town with a population of over 70,000 in 1901.
