Decades. It took decades. My understanding is a lot of historians see the first decades as major economic growth while most British people actually became smaller and shorter due to malnutrition.

Yeah it’s easy for people now to say “Look how great the Industrial Revolution was for us, the descendants of the people who didn’t die of cholera in an overcrowded tenement” and assume the Luddites were wrong on the impact on them, but that’s an over simplification
