Iona Industry and Agriculture
Since the industrial revolution made cities like Liverpool and Manchester boom, Iona also benefited. While Liverpool built the largest brick building in the world in the form of the Stanley Dock warehouse as part of the burgeoning docks, Manchester grew rich on the back of cotton, and Iona took the best bits from both.
Factories and warehouses sprang up everywhere providing thousands of jobs, workers from all over the countryside flocked to the city to cash in.
Most of Ionas industry has moved with the times and has become highly efficient and high tech with modern building replacing the old Victorian structures. However if you look in the right places you can still see great examples of Victorian industrial engineering.
Iona manufactures all nature of consumer products from tvs to hairspray, and with Uni Lever having its routes in nearby Port Sunlight, Iona has cashed in on the production of washing powder which is sold around the world.
Traditional industries still exsist in Iona, such as chemical, paint and heavy industry.
The city continues to reinvest in all of its industries to ensure the remain competitive on the global stage.
