> [@HeyHomie](#): > > I would! Did it have an appreciable affect on the UK economy? I imagine that many factories suddenly found themselves without cheap labor. The migration sparked by the Great Famine sent an enormous wave of Irish refugees to the New World but they were, for the most part, leaving areas with little industry. Only the northeast of Ireland industrialised to the degree that much of England did in the 19th century. It is also worth nothing that a not insignificant amount of those fleeing the Famine ended up in English, Welsh and Scottish cities where they contributed to further industrialisation in later years. In 1851, the first Census after the Famine, Liverpool was over 20% Irish born, Manchester over 10% etc. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-would-blacks-or-another-racial-group-leaving-american-en-mass-affte-the-country/819275.md?page=2)
