Harry Ramsden started his fish and chip business at White Cross, Guiseley.

It now has franchises in many places, including Cheshire Oaks, Ellesmere Port.

Pwllheli also had a Butlins camp (now owned by Haven) used by the Admiralty during WWII. Butlins at Skegness became HMS Royal Arthur whilst the camp at Pwllheli was named HMS Glendower.
