A town's most famous fish frying couple have retired after almost 50 years' serving up cod and chips.

Robin and Liz Silverthorne were the fifth generation of the family to run the business in Montague Street, Worthing.

But now they've called it a day and sold the business to James “Jimmy” Brown, who worked at Chipwick, Brighton Road, Worthing, for 17 years.

Silverthorne's was founded in 1907 by Robin's grandfather, Frank.

Robin said: “My family would like to thank our many and loyal customers who have supported us over the years.”
