Then this got us thinking - what else started in Lancashire?
Take a look at some surprising facts below.
17. Whiteboards
More than 20 years ago Blackburn-based firm Promethean invented a form of the interactive whiteboard, now seen in every school, hospital and office block in the world. Promethean was founded by Tony Cann in 1996 and in 2015 the company was bought by Chinese video game firm NetDragon Websoft. Photo: INDRANIL MUKHERJEE
18. Preston North End Football Club
Deepdale is a prestigious footballing venue. North End supporter or not, football purists must recognise that the Lilywhites' home ground is steeped in history and holds the privileged title of being the oldest professional footballing site in the world in continuous use. In 2004, Deepdale welcomed possibly the most prestigious and fitting landmark to honour the city and club's most famous son, the late Sir Tom Finney, with 'The Splash' statue. Photo: UGC
19. Warburtons Ltd
Warburtons is a British baking firm founded by Thomas Warburton. One of its sites is based in Burnley. It produces more than two million of their famous wax wrapped loaves, bagels, crumpets, pancakes and bread rolls a day. Last September the UK's biggest bakery brand revealed its new TV advert, starring Hollywood royalty Samuel L. Jackson. Photo: Samir Hussein
20. Cuckoo Gin
Post reporter Catherine Musgrove pictured with the award-winning Cuckoo Gin which made at Holmes Farm, Sandy Lane in Chorley using fresh spring water, natural ingredients and a passion for hard work. Holmes Farm has been in the Singleton family for over 100 years. The inspiration to add a distillery into the mix came one day as the family sat unwinding together after a long day on the farm, enjoying G&T’s. Photo: UGC
