There was plenty of human workers which meant hand labour was abundant in england.
The higher classes and elite classes preferred goods made by hand rather than machine goods.
Hand made products found a great demand in the market.
Most of the work in england was seasonal which meant manufacturers needed to employ workers on a temporary. basis.For example ship repairing,binding and caterind during Christmas seasons needed more hand labuor.

hope it helped .........plz mark as brainliest

ANS=due to the following reasons

(i) New technologies and machines were expensive, so the producers and the industrialists were cautious about using them.

(ii) Machines often broke down and their repair was expensive.

(iii) Poor peasants and migrants moved to cities in large numbers in search of jobs. So the supply of workers was more than the demand. Therefore, workers were available at low wages.

(iv) In seasonal industries, where production fluctuated with the seasons, industrialists usually preferred hand labour, employing workers only for the season, when it was needed.

(v) The variety of products required in the market could not be produced by the machines available at that time. In mid-nineteenth century, Britain, for instance, 500 varieties of hammers were produced and 45 kinds of axes, these required human skill, and not mechanical technology.
