A former bank which has stood empty in Seaham town centre is set to be revitalised as a popular chippy.
The former Barclays Bank on North Terrace has been vacant since the branch was closed down in February last year. But the building, which is well known in the town for its shape, is now set to be transformed into a fish and chip shop after plans were accepted by Durham County Council last week.
Well known in the North East, Bells Fish and Chips, which has shops all over the region, will take over the building and no changes will be made to the structure that would change its general appearance.
