Claud Butler started producing bicycles in 1928, in Battersea. The business grew rapidly and eventually
became one of the standards by which many bikes of that time were measured. At the peak of business there were several
locations where Claud Butlers were produced. Framebuilders who have worked under the Claud Butler name through the years
have included Les Ephgrave, Fred Dean, George Stratton, and Bill Philbrook. The business continued into 1956
under the leadership of Claud. In 1958, Holdsworth bought the Claud Butler brand and began producing frames labeled as Claud
Butler. Claud Butler passed away in 1978.
