Because most of the newly created working class were former [[peasant]]s, the cultures took on much of the localised folk culture. This was soon altered by the changed conditions of social relationships and the increased mobility of the workforce and later by the marketing of [[mass-produced]] cultural artefacts such as [[Printmaking|print]]s and ornaments and commercial entertainment such as [[music hall]] and [[film|cinema]].
