Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
Britain’s cotton industry grew at pace throughout the Industrial Revolution. Cotton was introduced to the country in the 16th century and by the 1700s it had changed the way people dressed. To keep up with increasing demand, cotton mills sprung up across Britain, especially in the north of England. Thanks to the water coming down from the Pennines, the North of England developed a thriving cotton industries. The fast flowing rivers coming down from the Pennines provided the power supply for the factories, although this would later be supplied by coal power. It also provided fresh, clean water with which to wash the material. Liverpool also boasted a thriving cotton industry thanks to the strong transport links through its ports. In 1774 a heavy tax on cotton thread and cloth made in Britain was repealed, further boosting the cotton industry. Furthermore, numerous inventions and technological development transformed the cotton industry, in turn helping to establish the UK as the cotton ‘workshop of the world.’ One such invention was the ‘Flying Shuttle,’ which was created by John Kay in 1733 and enabled cloth to be weaved faster than before. Another was the ‘Spinning Jenny,’ which was created by James Hargreaves in 1765. ‘Water Frame,’ patented by Richard Arkwright in 1769, embraced waterpower, but it also produced a higher quality thread than Hargreaves’ Spinning Jenny. Thanks to Crompton’s ‘Mule’ in 1779, and Boulton and Watt’s steam engine a few years later, the industry was changed dramatically.
