The steam engine was first invented in 1698 by Thomas Savery and was further improved by Thomas Newcomen in 1712 and James Watt in 1763. The steam locomotive was then developed, with the first full-scale locomotive built by George Stephenson in 1814 and the first public railway established 10 years later. During this time, the population in cities like London doubled as people moved from rural areas to the cities and new factories.
