The cramped conditions of a Victorian Framework Knitters workshop.
The workers worked a fourteen hour day in cramped noisy and dangerous conditions. Pay was so poor it led to the Luddite rebellion of 1811.
The movement began in Arnold (a suburb of Nottingham) a spread rapidly over the next two years.
The Luddites in Nottingham destroyed frames belonging to the 'Master Hosiers'
The Government of the day responded by sending in troops to protect the workshops and a Bill in parliament was proposed to make the breaking of frames punishable by death!

Der ehemalige Wachturm "Prinzeßchen" wurde im 13.Jh. errichtet. Er diente als Befestigungsturm der Stadtmauer.
Completed in 1932 for just over $200,000, the concrete span of Bixby Creek Bridge, one of the highest bridges of its kind in the world, soars 260 feet above the bottom of a steep canyon carved by Bixby Creek. One look at the canyon’s steep and crumbling cliffs, and it’s obvious that building the bridge wasn’t exactly a cakewalk. First, a massive wooden framework had to be built, with materials brought by truck on what was then a narrow, one-way road riddled with hairpin turns. A staggering 45,000 individual sacks of cement had to be hauled up the framework—and this is before advanced heavy machinery could help do the lifting. Each bag was transported via a system of platforms and slings suspended by cables 300 feet above the creek.
Curiously, the span was completed before the road, and it would be five more years before the route linking Carmel (about 15 miles to the north) to San Luis Obispo would even be opened.
