The settlement of Guiseley predates the Domesday
Book. Its name is of Saxon origin. It was named "Gisele"
in the Domesday Book. Guiseley's parish church dedicated to St Oswald
was used by generations of the Longfellow family. Henry Wadsworth
Longfellows grandfather left here for the New World in the 18th
century. The rector of St Oswald's for several decades was Rev.
Robert More, who died in 1642. He was the father-in-law of the English
explorer, Capt. Christopher Levett.Patrick Brontë and Maria Branwell
were married at St Oswald's and became the parents of six children,
including Anne, Charlotte and Emily Brontë.
Harry Corbett's famous children's television glove
puppet character Sooty stage act was conceived in his parents' "Springfield"
fish and chip shop on Springfield Road in Guiseley. The restaurant
was featured in a BBC documentary in Spring 2008 and now boasts
the slogan 'As Seen on TV' on the shopfront.
Crompton Parkinson was a major employer in the town
until its factory closed in 2004. The town was also the home of
Silver Cross, a pram manufacturer, whose factory was in Guiseley
from 1936 to 2002.
Guiseley is a small town in the City of Leeds metropolitan
borough in the metropolitan county of West Yorkshire, England. Situated
south of Otley and Menston, it is a suburb of north west Leeds.
At the 2001 census, Guiseley together with Rawdon had a population
of over 21,000.The A65, which passes through the town, is the main
shopping street.Guiseley railway station offers regular service
into Leeds railway station.
The town is most famous for Harry Ramsden, who sold
fish and chips from a small shed next to the tram stop. In 1930
he opened his first fish restaurant (which is still trading) and
was, for many years, "the world's biggest fish and chip shop".
