| Otley Road, Harry Ramsden's at night (Guiseley) |
 | Undated.
Night-time view of Harry Ramsden's world-famous fish and chip restaurant on Otley Road, White Cross. Harry Ramsden (1888-1963) started the business in 1928 and soon built up a reputation for the quality of his food and for owning the largest fish and chip shop in the world, but it was not until after the business was floated on the Stock Exchange in 1988 that it became a chain of restaurants, which now boasts 170 outlets worldwide. In October 1999 it was bought by Granada Food Service company who in turn became the Select Service Partner (SSP) Ltd division of Compass. The business is now run by SSP in Weybridge, Surrey.

Looking north-west from Otley Road towards the White Cross Roundabout. On the far left is a tobacconist and confectioner. Bradford Road runs across in the background where a bus can be seen.

| White Cross, looking south-east from Bradford Road (Guiseley) (2 comments) |
| c1955.
Looking south-east from Bradford Road towards the White Cross Hotel in the days before a roundabout was built at the junction. Otley Road leads off to the left of the White Cross and Bradford Road continues on to the right. Harry Ramsden's Fish and Chip shop and restaurant is just out of view on the left at the top of the set of steps.
