FISHBURN has its first computer shop, which also hopes to provide services to surrounding villages.
The appropriately named Computer Shop was opened in the village this week by Sarah Cole.
Miss Cole, 26, who will run the business with her engineer boyfriend Gary Farrell, carried out research in the village before taking the decision to launch the business.
She said: "I did a survey and it turned out that about 98 per cent of people were very keen on the idea. There was nothing in this village at all, and you have to travel to Durham, Darlington or Hartlepool for a computer shop."
The shop, in Front Street opposite The Beehive pub, sells computers and upgrades, offers repairs and provides advice. It is open from 11am to 7pm and can be contacted on (01740) 629766.
