Frank Vickerman was a man in the early 1800s who lived in West Yorkshire. He owned a wool processing factory at Taylor Hill, which was attacked by the Luddites on March 15, 1812.^[1] The factory was destroyed and arson was attempted. Frank Vickerman was targeted by this anti-technological growth organization partly because the machines in his factory were taking the jobs of actual people, but also, Frank Vickerman had been previously involved in an Anti-Luddite committee.
