How many famous Leyland People are there?
Recently Jason Robinson shot to fame as a Rugby World Cup hero. There's a famous Leylander in the pop group Liberty X although, I don't know his name. Not forgetting the pioneers on Leyland Motors.
How many more can we name?

What about the "Lady" who paraded outside the Post Office during the War - was her name, I forget, she used to wear a fur coat and always had a word for the lads. (very tongue in cheek, sorry) I`ve mentioned before, Sergeants Pollitt and Turner of Leyland Police, they were famous!! and what about Butcher Lord? W.R.

The elder Henry was in charge until the 1940's and handed over to son Henry ,later Sir Henry, and H.S. Markland, and together they developed the post war company.
