In the 16th century a booming iron industry in the forest of the Weald of Surry, Kent, and Sussex provided cannon for Henry VIII's growing navy, as well as household goods and other products. French immigrants brought new technology and England saw the growth of the beginnings of a modern industrial revolution. --- To see the show notes go to http://www.englandcast.com.

Henry VIII is remembered as the Founder of the Royal Navy - he built up the navy from only about 5 ships when he became King, to over 50 great warships when he died, also founding an official arm of his administration to handle all of the work involved with keeping it supplied.
