A much-loved fish and chip shop in Leeds city centre has closed its doors for good.

Bosses behind Graveley's Fish & Chips announced the permanent closure of their The Core Shopping Centre site earlier this month.

The closure of the chippy, which also has a site in the White Rose Shopping Centre, comes after the impending demolition of the shopping complex.

Plans to demolish the Core Shopping Centre, which has stood on the Headrow and Land’s Lane since 1987, to make way for new shops and student flats were given the greenlight earlier this year.

Businesses such as fashion and homeware retailer Matalan have also announced departure from the site ahead of demolition.
