Our Journey

The Bricklayers arms (brickies) to The Frame Breakers

Originally known as the Bricklayer's Arms. It was a beer house in 1868 and became fully licensed in 1880 and changed its name to The Frame Breakers in 2015.

​

Our name came from the roots of Nottingham's History.  The Luddite movement of 1811-1816 led by the character of Captain Ludd, also known as King Ludd or General Ludd, the Luddites' alleged leader and founder. The word ‘Luddites’ refers to British weavers and textile workers who objected to the introduction of mechanised looms and knitting frames. As highly trained artisans, the new machinery posed a threat to their livelihood and after receiving no support from government, they took matters into their own hands.  

​
