The Cayleys were prominent local landowners after which many landmarks in Rhos on Sea are named. The Cayley Arms commemorates Sir George Cayley, an aviation pioneer, who built a glider, the Cayley Flier, in 1853. This flew 900ft across Bromtpn Dale in Yorkshire before crashlanding - the first recorded flight of a fixed wing aeroplane.
