On this day shed history – Harry Ramsden started in shed
On this day in 1928, Harry Ramsden started his fish and chip restaurant in a hut in Guiseley, near Leeds, which soon became the most famous in the world.
and as wikipedia reports it.
The business was started by Harry Ramsden (1888–1963) in 1928 in a wooden hut in White Cross in Guiseley near Leeds in Yorkshire, northern England. Three years later he moved into a ‘fish and chip palace’, complete with fitted carpets, oak paneled walls and chandeliers. The original hut still stands on the same site adjacent to the main restaurant, which holds the Guinness World Record for the largest fish and chip shop in the world, seating 250 people, serving nearly a million customers a year
So a great shed working environment, if you don’t mind the smell of chip fat, but I suppose you can run a motorised shed on it (no that’s an idea)
