Harry Ramden's chain of fish and chip restaurants is now world famous but it all started here on the 20th December 1928 when Harry Ramsden opened a tiny fish and chip shop with a capital of just ?150. Within three years he had built a large restaurant with design features inspired by the Ritz Hotel. It boasted cut glass chandeliers and stained glass windows. Now Harry Ramsden's is an international chain with 170 outlets attracting 10 million customers annually. The company employs its own fleet of trawlers, chips 10 million pounds of Maris Piper potatoes per year and prides itself on the recipe for batter, which still remians a closely guarded secret. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Otley Road Harry Ramsden's | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
