End of an era for Knaresborough fish and chips shop
John and Ellie Anderson aim to have their last shift at Chain Lane Fisheries on August 22.
John and Ellie Anderson will move on after 14 years.
It is the end of an era for a Knaresborough fish and chips shop, as the family owners prepare to move on after 14 years.
John and Ellie Anderson plan to put in their last shift at Chain Lane Fisheries on August 22.
They have found a buyer to take on the shop, which has had just four owners since it opened in 1938.
Mrs Anderson explained to the Stray Ferret why they have decided to sell the business:
"The time is right for us to move on. We have thought about it a lot and we came to the decision during the coronavirus lockdown. We have loved it here. The customers are amazing."

Mr Anderson added it will be emotional to say goodbye to the shop after so many years:
"It is a lot of our life. It's funny because our children are in their 20s now and they were nine and 11 when we started. We have been very busy during coronavirus. There were no pubs to compete with and the weather was lovely."
The couple said they have been inundated with nice comments from customers since they announced they were moving on.
