-History:
__City of Tilburg__
The city of Tilburg, located in the heart of Noord-Brabant, was one of the major cities in the Netherlands that helped industrialize the nation. Tilburg was well known for it's cloth industry. Tilburg was also a major hub for the Dutch railway company (NS) since most of the steam locomotives from the Netherlands were made in Tilburg. Tilburg has a interesting community. All throughout the city you can see monuments or mentions of the Dutch king "William II". Tilburg really became more popular of a city within the nation since the Dutch king spend a lot of time in the city itself and even build a palace there wich still exists to this day. You can also find a lot of statues and references to the cloth industry. Usually it's a man with a jug in his hands. Because of the enormous cloth industry, the factories needed sustenence to clean the wool before being manufactured into cloth and linnen. Back in that time, they used pee to clean the fat out of the wool so factories would pay citizens of Tilburg money for theirp pee. This whole phenomenon made the "man with the jug" a symbol for the city.
Tilburg used to be a very nice looking city. Unfortunately a lot of the images in the video show buildings and streets that don't exist anymore. A lot of the buildings either dissapeared during ww2 or were victim to a few "rogue" mayors who thought replacing historical buildings with modern architecture was a good idea in order to "keep up with time". Nontheless, there still are a lot of buildings left too. It's just that a lot of major buildings like the old historical train station, the city welcome gate, the old townhall and much more was removed. You can still see remnants of the Tilburgisch industrial history in it's still standing workers houses, wall painted ads from the 19th and early 20th century, old re-used factory complexes and much more! You just need to know what to look at and where to find it.
__Dutch industrial history__
Compared to other nations in Europe, the Netherlands industrialized rather late, mainly due to the fact that the country didn't have a need for industrial production. To say a nation is "industrialized" you not only have to look at its technological advances, but also to it's culture and geography. For instance you could say that the path to British industrialisation wa the steam engine wich pumped out water from coalmines, wich in turn allowed people to dig deeper and figure out steam engines could be usefull for multiple other things. The Netherlands couldn't industrialize like this because they barely didn't or didn't have any coalmines.
