UK Economy

1) The United Kingdom was the first country in the world which became highly industrialized. Dur­ing the rapid industrialization of the 19^th century, one of the most important factors was that coal deposits were situated near the ground surface, which made mining easy. Coal mining is one of the most developed industries in Great Britain. The big­gest coal and iron mines are in the north-east of England, near Newcastle, in Lancashire and York­shire; in Scotland near Glasgow; in Wales near Cardiff and Bristol.

2) Until recent times, Britain's heavy industry was mainly concentrated in the centre of England and in the London region. Such towns as Birmingham, Cov­entry and Sheffield produced heavy machines, rail­way carriages and motor-cars. In the 20^th century new branches of industry have appeared: electronics, radio, chemical industry and others.

3) Of great importance for Britain is ship-building industry. It is concentrated in London, Glasgow, Newcastle, Liverpool and Belfast.

4) Great Britain produces a lot of wool, and woolen industry is developed in Yorkshire. British woolen products are exported to many countries.

5) Sea-ports play a great role in the life of the coun­try. London, Liverpool and Glasgow are the biggest English ports, from which big liners go to all parts of the world. Great Britain exports industrial prod­ucts to other countries and imports food and some other products.

6) Sheep-farming, cattle-farming and dairy-farming are also important branches of Great Britain's econ­omy. Chicken farms produce a great number of chick­ens and eggs for the population.
