A Durham fish and chip shop has been serving customers for more than 80 years.
Stanton's Fish & Chips has served customers on Neville Street in Durham city centre for decades, just a short walk from the railway station.
The business is known for its batter recipe, which dates back to 1954 and remains at the heart of its offering.
The chippy continues to attract everyone from local families and workers to visitors exploring the cathedral city.
Independent fish and chip shops have long been part of the fabric of North East communities, and Stanton's is no exception.
Despite the changes in Durham over the years, Stanton’s has remained a constant presence on Neville Street.
Customer reviews reflect its enduring appeal.
One TripAdvisor reviewer, who visited in 2023, said: "Would recommend. Nice generous portion, would recommend, no negatives."
Another reviewer highlighted the portion sizes and traditional feel of the food, saying the fish and chips delivered the sort of classic takeaway meal people often seek out when visiting a local chippy.

It’s a familiar sight in the city centre, even as high streets continue to change and independent businesses face mounting challenges.
More than 80 years after first opening its doors, the Neville Street takeaway continues to serve generations of customers, offering a taste of tradition in a city where history is never far away.
