Local historian Trevor Temple chronicles the individuals associated with Londonderry who lost their lives in WWI .

Doherty , Private Cornelius , 12258

Cornelius Doherty , 5th Battalion Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers , was born at Carmoren , County Donegal , enlisted at Bridgeton , Lanarkshire , Scotland , and died at Gallipoli on August 15 , 1915 .

He was the son of Mr George Doherty , 72 , Rossville Street , Derry ; the husband of Catherine Doherty , 37 , Wesleyan Street , Glasgow , Scotland ; and the brother of George Doherty , who was serving in France at the time of his brother 's death . Private Cornelius Doherty 's name is recorded on the Helles Memorial , Turkey .

Sir Frank Fox in his book The Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers in the World War describes the actions of the 5th Inniskillings on the day of Private Cornelius Doherty 's death : ' On Aug. 15 an attack on Kiretch Tepe Sirt was ordered , and the 5th Inniskillings , whose task was to take Kidney Hill ( with the 6th Inniskillings in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and proved that they had the true spirit of resolved courage of the Regiment .

' The plan of the attack was for the 30th Brigade on the left to attack the southern slopes of the mountain , whilst the 31st Brigade with two Battalions attacked across an open plain the spur known as Kidney Ridge .

The slopes of the hill were almost precipitous and covered with thick scrub . There could be no help on this section of the attack from the guns of the Navy and our land artillery was very weak .

' The 5th Inniskillings shortly after noon advanced to the attack and made some progress until the plain at the foot of the hill was reached . Then the advance stopped . The enemy artillery and machine guns had perfect observation of the ground and there was no shelter . The O.C. , Lt.-Col. Vanrenen , was killed ( three days after a party under Cpl . Pritchard recovered and buried his body ) and the Adjutant , Major Best , wounded . The second-in-command , Major Owen , took @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attempts were made to cross that stretch of 500 yards of naked plain . But all were in vain . Nothing could live in that field of fire . At 8 p.m. orders came from the Brigade Commander to withdraw and return to the position held at noon . At this time the Brigade had dug in on the line they had gained on the edge of the open plain . Capt . Adams , who was in command , sent back word that he would collect our wounded before falling back . To have left them would have been to doom them to almost certain death .

' It was a decision of high courage for this new Battalion , after such stern losses , to hold on for the sake of the wounded . By midnight over 100 men had been rescued , the soldiers carrying them in on ground sheets . But stretcher-bearers could not come up to our line and , led by Capt . Adams and Lt. Lindsay , the men brought their fallen comrades back a distance of 600 yards , where they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was nearly four in the morning before the task was completed .

Then the survivors of the Battalion fell back to the trench from which they had moved to the attack . In all , 6 officers had been killed and 14 wounded , 28 O.R.s killed , 230 wounded and 78 missing -- more than half the total strength on landing at Suvla Bay . '

Aged 18 , he was the son of John and Annie Kelly , Clonmellon , County Westmeath , and the brother of Ben Kelly , 3 , Rock Villas , Londonderry . His name is commemorated on the Helles @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pals at Suvla Bay : being the record of ' D ' Company of the 7th Royal Dublin Fusiliers , from letters and personal memories of those that were there , gives a description of the action of the battalion on the day Austin Kelly lost his life :

' With the exception of 11th Manchester 's advance during the 6/7th August , Kiretch Tepe ( also known as Kizlar Dagh ) was paid little attention by either side .

' But with failure and stalemate on the plains below , attention was soon turned to this ridge .

' The attack by the Irish on 15th August brought limited success on the northern slopes and , along the crestline , the Turkish defensive work known as The Pimple had been captured .

' During the night of 15/16th August the Turks began a series of ferocious bomb and bayonet attacks . The Irish and English troops resisted gallantly and , with grim determination , held back the Turkish onslaught . But soon their meagre supply of jam tin bombs , that the Irish had been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ defence witnessed men bravely trying to catch and throw back the Turkish bombs , and in frustration sometimes even rocks . It was soon realised that the Irish position was one of hopelessness ; blood and brawn would not be enough . '

From an unknown 7th Dublins Pal at Suvla Bay :

" The platoon was rushed into that deadly corner on the ridge overlooking the Gulf of Saros about an hour before daylight .

' The place was already a shambles and we could almost shake hands with the Turks , who were behind the low stone earthwork armed with bombs .

' I remember how sore my shoulder had become with firing , when three bombs , one after the other , fell four feet away among the stones on the steep slope of the ridge .

' After scrambling to reach the third as it rolled , I received a blow in the chest from the explosion which made me helpless for about eight hours . ' I remember the 7th Dublin 's being relieved , but could not follow , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fire that took place subsequently .

' Failing to get more than a few yards towards safety , I decided to lie in the scrub all night and at dawn make good my escape . I had no water , as my water-bottle had been smashed by a bomb .

' Next morning , after much trouble and excitement avoiding hidden snipers , whose bullets often whizzed unpleasantly close , I found water , and safety , by getting down the cliff to the beach - travelling along the latter waist-deep in water sometimes , and then swimming round the headland , where the Navy were very busy pumping fresh water ashore . "

McDiarmid , Corporal John , 13917

John McDiarmid , 5th Battalion Royal Irish Fusiliers , was born at Derry , and died at the Dardanelles on August 16 , 1915 .

His name is recorded on the Helles Memorial , Turkey .

Robert Thompson 's book Coleraine Heroes 1914-1918 provides us with the following information on Corporal John McDiarmid : ' John McDiarmid was born in Londonderry and came to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a Coleraine girl but enlisted in Glasgow .

' Work at the time was scarce in Coleraine and John took his family to Glasgow where he found work in the shipyards . By this time there were four young children in the family and they lived at 1204 , Dumbarton Road , Whiteinch , Glasgow .

' He had to go for training very soon after he enlisted . The 5th Royal Irish Fusiliers were sent to Gallipoli as part of the 29th Division after a very hasty training period .

' Conditions here were strange to the troops . During the day the heat was almost unbearable and fresh water was a constant problem . Rough rocky terrain meant that trenches could not be dug to any sufficient depth and almost everywhere was in sight of the enemy .

' On the morning of the 16th of August the 5th Battalion were ordered to move to the left of the line to relieve the 6th Battalion who had had a very rough time in these shallow trenches . They moved along the Kiretch Tepe Sirt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ By 9.30am they were in position but constant heavy fire from the enemy kept them from attempting an attack . Casualties were very heavy all day and stretcher bearers had great difficulty saving the wounded and in fact it was one of these same stretcher bearers who eventually wrote home to John 's wife to tell her that John had been killed .

' He had obviously recognised who was on the stretcher . And quite obviously there is no point in carrying a dead man back for treatment so John would have been simply exchanged for someone else . It would help to explain why there is now no known grave .

' The Battalion lost 37 men on this day , many of them to snipers , but also to the incessant heavy firing of the morning . John was killed at the Pimple on this day and has no known grave . He is commemorated on the Helles Memorial on Gallipoli .

' After the news of John 's death reached her , his wife brought the family home to Coleraine to be with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Mr Andrew King of Kyle 's Brae . It was a distressing time for Mrs McDiarmid but being near to people she had been brought up with was a big help and she was able to carry on .

' The family headstone in Coleraine Cemetery tells us that John 's son , Jack , died at twelve years of age on 3rd November 1926 and that his wife , Annie , died on 3rd February 1952 at the age of 74 . There is also mention of Nan McDiarmid , whom I take to be John 's daughter , being killed in the Coleraine explosion of 12th June 1973 . As to the circumstances of Jack 's early death , it appears that Jack had an accident at school when the school gates closed on his fingers , damaging his hand very badly .

' Afterwards he became ill , probably through some infection , and Rheumatic fever set in . Tragically and according to the family he died of Rheumatic Fever a few days later . '

Plungar-based Orchard Farm has opened a brand new on-site butcher shop in the Vale of Belvoir after receiving a ? 16,000 loan from HSBC .

Dickies Butchers , which launched in July , will sell home-reared beef , pork , lamb and chicken , as well as locally-produced breads and cheeses , for customers in and around the Vale of Belvoir .

The new venture , supported by a flexible business loan from HSBC , will provide a sustained custom for Orchard Farm 's owners , Rich and Charlotte Stevens , who previously reared livestock for private trade and sale at local markets .

The HSBC funding has helped Dickies Butchers to install a cold room , buy a refrigerated van and fit out the new shop . It also enabled the company to buy essential equipment for the shop

Additionally , Dickies Butchers has been able to hire a master butcher from Leicestershire with over 25 years in the business .

Rich Stevens , owner of Dickies Butchers , said : " The reduction in the amount of grazing land around our farm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ innovate . Ultimately , we had to reduce the numbers of livestock , but we were mindful that we needed a sustainable business solution . After much consideration , we felt creating an on-site butcher for our customers to buy their meat produce locally was an ideal way to grow our business , secure a future for our farm as well as continue providing high-quality meat to the local community .

Plungar-based Orchard Farm has opened a brand new on-site butcher shop in the Vale of Belvoir after receiving a ? 16,000 loan from HSBC .

Dickies Butchers , which launched in July , will sell home-reared beef , pork , lamb and chicken , as well as locally-produced breads and cheeses , for customers in and around the Vale of Belvoir .

The new venture , supported by a flexible business loan from HSBC , will provide a sustained custom for Orchard Farm 's owners , Rich and Charlotte Stevens , who previously reared livestock for private trade and sale at local markets .

The HSBC funding has helped Dickies Butchers to install a cold room , buy a refrigerated van and fit out the new shop . It also enabled the company to buy essential equipment for the shop

Additionally , Dickies Butchers has been able to hire a master butcher from Leicestershire with over 25 years in the business .

Rich Stevens , owner of Dickies Butchers , said : " The reduction in the amount of grazing land around our farm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ innovate . Ultimately , we had to reduce the numbers of livestock , but we were mindful that we needed a sustainable business solution . After much consideration , we felt creating an on-site butcher for our customers to buy their meat produce locally was an ideal way to grow our business , secure a future for our farm as well as continue providing high-quality meat to the local community .

It 's relatively rare to have photographic evidence of a museum item in its original setting , especially when that item was n't owned or used by a high profile person .

But here 's a lovely blue-and-white striped towelling beach robe along with a black-and-white snapshot of the donor 's father , the late Charles Stanley Field of Hunmanby , wearing it on his honeymoon on the Isle of Wight in 1934 . The late Charles Stanley Field of Hunmanby wearing it on his honeymoon on the Isle of Wight in 1934 .

Relaxed beachwear like this is a relatively recent innovation -- the seaside holiday , in Scarborough at least , was originally the preserve of the fairly wealthy seeking the health-giving properties of the coast : in our case , the Spa waters discovered by Mrs Thomasin Farrer in the 17th century .

For the first couple of hundred years , the upper classes who flocked here to cure their dyspepsia and other ailments liked to maintain their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which they could emerge straight into the sea .

It was n't until the mid-Victorian period that the coming of the railways to Scarborough opened the town up to the masses , but even then , modesty was de rigeur on the beaches .

By the early 20th century , however , things were changing -- it was more acceptable to bare some flesh , and as a result , items of clothing like our beach robe , allowing for a quick cover up when demanded by changes in weather or company , became more popular .

' Important ' objects , such as paintings , jewellery or furniture tend to be cared for and preserved carefully for future generations in a way that more disposable things are n't . And yet it 's everyday items like our beach robe , which become part of a museum 's social history collection , which can shine a light on the day-to-day lives of our forbears in a way that grander items ca n't : it 's only a very privileged few who can look at the Crown Jewels @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just like that . "

Perhaps one of the most famous collections of purely social history is that of ' consumer historian and supermarket archaeologist ' Robert Opie , who for over 50 years has been collecting and preserving product packaging , that most disposable of all disposable items .

And Scarborough Museums Trust has recently taken steps to help the preservation of items from another extremely throwaway arena -- the seaside .

Spearheaded by the Trust , but open to any interested organisation or individual , the Seaside Heritage Network aims to promote the value of seaside heritage and culture , further understand and research the British seaside and seaside-related collections , locate custodians of seaside heritage , and share vital knowledge and expertise .

The Network is part of a wider Seaside Heritage project being run by Scarborough Museums Trust , which has a small collection of seaside ephemera which it 's hoping to expand .

At the Network 's launch , Project manager Esther Graham said : " From the introduction of bathing machines to ' Kiss Me Quick ' hats , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

" But because a lot of the items relating to the days out at the seaside that we all remember are seen as throwaway , more often than not they 're not preserved : we 're in danger of losing a remarkable part of our collective culture .

" Our new Network is open to everyone interested in preserving our seaside heritage , whether they 're members of the public , museums , or heritage organisations . And , of course , we 're always interested in receiving donations of objects which will boost the seaside element of our collections . "

As well as Scarborough Museums Trust , the Seaside Heritage Network already includes Filey Museum , Southend Museums Service , Hastings Museum and Art Gallery , Manx National Heritage , Blackpool Museum project and the National Piers Society , as well as independent , individual members .

A couple whose marriage is intertwined with shoe shop Masons ( later Clarks ) have been sharing some of their memories of the store .

It comes after Clarks announced two weeks ago it had made a business decision not to renew the lease on the former Masons building . Bill Kirk with the staff taken on the last Saturday of trading as Masons , April 28 , 1990 . Photo : Sue Kirk

Sue and Bill Kirk , of Wyberton West Road , Boston , first met through the store in 1983 after Sue took back some shoes for store credit .

Sue said : " As I left the store , Bill was waiting to see what I had bought and just after that he asked me out and we were wed a year later . "

Husband Bill , 63 , who worked for Masons and then Clarks for 40 years from 1969 until 2009 , joked : " She went in with a complaint and came out with a date -- and it was a blooming expensive way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were wed at Boston Register Office and 32 years later Sue still has those shoes ( boxed ) , the receipt , and the diary entry for when she was due to pick up the shoes . Mason 's Memories EMN-161208-145650001

She also has plenty more clippings and branded items from the store , including an umbrella .

Bill was employed at Mason 's a week after leaving school and worked for three generations of the Mason family -- William , John and Bob , Tim , Peter and Elizabeth .

In that time he learned a lot about the store , some of the history he related to us :

l Masons was founded in 1849 . Its first shop was in Church Street before it moved to Strait Bargate .

l The store started as only two storeys high but was later built with three . It had the servant 's quarters below ground level and the owners ' accommodation at the top .

l There was another major refit after the Second World War when the frontage was moved and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Span Cafe and in the 80s it took over Hopper Jeweller 's former premises .

l Masons made shoes for a number of local prominent people of Boston , who each had wooden shoe lasts -- moulds of their feet -- measured out for shoes to be shaped on . The last of these shoes was made for a local garage owner in 1970 .

l During the Second World War , a special vulcanised machine was used to repair the wellington boots of local farmers and fishermen due to a shortage of rubber to make new ones .

A Wigan man who subjected a woman friend to a terrifying attack and ransacked her home has been sentenced to eight months ' imprisonment .

Shaun Stockton had admitted those offences at the start of his trial , but he had denied more serious allegations including one of rape .

And after the evidence was put to a trial the Atherton 25-year-old was found not guilty by a jury of the rape allegation along with the charges he faced of false imprisonment , making a threat to kill and two assaults causing actual bodily harm , all involving the same female acquaintance .

Sentencing him , Judge Brian Cummings , QC , said that as Stockton has been remanded in custody since January , the sentence meant that he would now be due to be released from prison .

But the judge pointed out that Stockton will be on licence for 12 months and he imposed a five-year restraining order to keep away from the woman , who can not be named for legal reasons . Breach of the licence can mean his immediate return to the cells . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that on January 23 this year Stockton was at the woman 's first floor home in Atherton .

The defendant admitted that while there he punched the woman in the face , causing bruising to her lip .

He also admitted leaving but later returning after buying wine and climbing up a ladder to get back into her home .

She had left to go to a neighbour 's home in order to alert the police of what had happened to her .

And while she was out Stockton took the opportunity to ransack the address , although the value of damage was unknown , said Mr Biddle .

The woman had claimed that Stockton had raped her and kept her prisoner in her own home .

She had also alleged that he tried to strangle her and bit her fingers while she tried to retrieve her mobile phone from him .

And she had further alleged that Stockton had sprayed lighter fuel over her and threatened to ignite it and burn her .

The defendant denied all these allegations and told @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him .

Stockton left the scene after ransacking her home , but returned once again only to be promptly arrested by police whom the victim had called from the neighbour 's home .

Appearing in the dock , the defendant pleaded guilty to assaulting the woman causing actual bodily harm and causing criminal damage .

The court heard that Stockton , of Windermere Avenue , Atherton , has previous convictions for assault , harassment , possessing an offensive weapon and aggravated vehicle-taking .

Paul Treble , defending , said that Stockton , who has a young son , had become addicted to alcohol and crack cocaine and he admitted that he had behaved badly .

The incident has been " a wake-up call " for him and he has spent eight months on remand , he added .

Stockton previously appeared in the Wigan Evening Post two years ago when police issued an appeal for his whereabouts when he breached the terms of his licence , having been released from a prison sentence for public order offences and possession of a firearm .

A protest group says it is concerned that the closure of A&E at Grantham Hospital will become permanent .

SOS Grantham Hospital has questioned how seriously United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust is trying to recruit enough staff to make sure the A&E is reopened overnight in three months ' time . The trust closed A&E last week from 6.30pm to 9am on a temporary basis , saying it needed to boost staff numbers at its hospitals in Boston and Lincoln where there was a " staffing crisis " .

Chairman of SOS Grantham Hospital Charmaine Morgan said : " Given the ULHT promise the situation is only ' temporary ' , a further question has been raised over how urgently ULHT are seeking to recruit an appropriate number of A&E medium grade doctors .

" It was identified that a recent job advertisement has been posted by the Trust only for a total of four vacancies in Pilgrim and Lincoln Hospitals . ULHT had stated nine posts must be filled across the Trust to enable Grantham Hospital @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ provide evidence that they have advertised the five additional posts required . "

ULHT has been asked for a comment on the concerns of SOS Grantham Hospital .

Meanwhile , Coun Morgan thanked those who have supported the protest by signing a petition and taking part in vigils outside the hospital .

Councillor Morgan said : " In light of the awful news that ULHT planned to close our A&E unit between 6.30pm and 9am , the response from our community has been tremendous with people rallying round to act to defend our A&E . There has been some confusion caused by ULHT stating Grantham Hospital does n't treat certain trauma cases and therefore was not a proper A&E unit . To clarify Grantham A&E unit services were reduced after the last public consultation , but has successfully continued to provide vital life-saving stabilising support to critically ill patients , who may , or may not , be subsequently transferred to other hospitals for further treatment . The loss of this vital service is putting local lives at risk . Also , local people are entitled to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can not get to Lincoln , Nottingham or Peterborough at night . "

The online petition has now attracted more than 10,000 signatures . More than 1,300 paper copies have so far been returned and more petition forms are going out into the community . Further petition forms may be obtained from the Journal , Cussells Jewellers or by request to Charmaine Morgan .

Councillor Morgan said : " The number of people signing our petition and comments made show the huge support this legal action has . Our community feels betrayed by United Lincolnshire Hospital Trust who have failed to make adequate provision for A&E services for the 120,000 people in the Grantham Hospital catchment area in the evening and night time . By their own account over 28 people on average walk into our A&E at night and a further eight attend by ambulance . We anticipate an increase in people , seeking help just before 6.30pm and more people attending A&E first thing . However critically ill people , for whom ' time is of the essence ' , will be left at risk as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been advised that it is of national importance that their action does not go unchallenged as other Trusts facing financial difficulties are tempted to do likewise . If everyone who signs our petition donates at least ? 1 we will achieve our campaign target .

" Since the closure of our A&E at night at least two seriously injured boys appallingly have been forced to travel to Lincoln who could have been first stabilised at Grantham Hospital A&E , according to confidential sources . A Facebook account covers the tragic loss of a local grandfather who had a heart attack Thursday night and a second heart attack on the way to Lincoln Hospital . "

Weekly vigils will take place every Wednesday at Grantham Hospital between 6pm and 9.30pm . All members of the community , local councillors and Nick Boles MP have been invited to attend .

Volunteers are being asked to help run regular Street Stalls . Anyone interested may contact Charmaine Morgan and Steve Nesbitt on 07429 334260 or email **27;457;TOOLONG .

Dewsbury 's history is truly amazing , even mentioned in William the Conquerers Domesday book .

The following hundred years saw massive changes .

The 20th century brought immense prosperity to the town .

Known as the " Heavy Woollen District " we saw the emergence of giant mills producing high quality products like carpets and blankets with customers across the globe .

Even the military were supplied with uniforms for our troops during the war .

Margaret Watson , our local journalistic historian , brings much of this history to life in her regular features in the local press which highlights the trials and tribulations the people of Dewsbury and surrounding districts saw during the communities heyday .

The town had three railway stations at one time in order to satisfy over 65 trains a day , carrying passengers to and from the town .

Truly a valuable centre of commerce .

Sadly , global stability and cheap imports saw some of the mills close with the loss of many skilled textile jobs .

However , as a thriving @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the vast majority and Dewsbury maintained it 's prominence as an influential centre .

1974 was the year Dewsbury County Borough was no more ; merging with Kirklees Metropolitan Council was the vision for a successful future .

It was felt that a " larger " county council would encourage a higher degree of investment and opportunity .

Unfortunately , we 've seen a mirror image of the European Union on a smaller scale where whole communities across the land have become areas of deprivation with little hope for change , especially in the North and Midlands .

Investment over the last 40 years has mainly gone to Huddersfield and beyond .

Dewsbury , on the other hand , has seen little investment during those 40 years .

Not even a shopping mall , as promised .

On the contrary , more than a quarter of the shops are empty , we 've lost our county court , our magistrates court to where ? Huddersfield .

Our central police station is on limited hours with Huddersfield calling the shots .

If @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do you have to catch it ?

You 've guessed , Huddersfield .

Even our Dewsbury General Hospital , being massively downgraded saw little opposition from our Kirklees councillors , even when I warned them , all 68 of them , Huddersfield would be next .

Kirklees have systematically ripped the very heart from this once vibrant and prosperous town .

I now hear that even our heritage , our history and our fountain of historical importance is to be lost forever through the closure of our wonderful Museum in Crow Nest Park .

Is nothing sacred to these people .

Yes , parts of the building have fallen into disrepair but , I 'm reliably informed that , the insurance company paid a substantial amount of money to repair the damage but , as always with Kirklees , these " repair " funds appear to have been absorbed into other projects giving them the excuse to close it .

The museum serves at least nine different schools in the area across the age spectrum teaching these youngsters that Dewsbury has a history @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ past .

Dewsbury deserves better .

Our local councillors make courageous efforts to fight our corner but , with such powerful resources working against them , I fear for the towns future .

A motorist is believed to have died after suffering a heart attack , an inquest heard this week .

Wayne Puttick , 27 , who lived in Golden Cross , near Hailsham , died on April 15 when his Ford Focus struck a wall and overturned into a culvert on the B2124 at Laughton just after 10pm .

Dr Zainab Ali , pathologist at Eastbourne District Geberal Hospital ( DGH ) , said Mr Puttick sustained injuries to his left shoulder , left knee and chest but there were no internal injuries at all .

Mr Puttick , a roofer , was also over the drink-drive limit but the level was not enough to seriously affect his driving , Dr Ali said .

" The only thing I can think of was that it was a cardiac event , " she said , as she told the inquest none of Mr Puttick 's injuries were life-threatening .

Stephen Vinyard , of Laughton , was with his girlfriend heading towards Ringmer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , held yesterday ( Tuesday , August 23 ) , he said : " We heard a skid then a bang . It was like a single car skidding and crashing into something . "

Benjamin Pratt , from Hailsham , was taking his girlfriend home to Brighton , when he came across the scene .

He got out of the car after seeing Mr Vinyard and his girlfriend , thinking they were involved in the crash and asked if they were okay .

In a statement read out at the inquest , Mr Puttick 's mother , Debbie , said : " Wayne was a happy , loving and caring man who would put others before himself . He would change his plans at the last minute to accommodate family and friends as best he could .

" He spent a lot of time in New Zealand , Australia and Japan and returned to the UK in April last year .

" He seemed happy when he came back , spending three months with us in Wales . He worked for a roofing company @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ helped his dad with cutting the grass and other odd jobs . Wayne was a keen footballer and enjoyed cricket and occasionally a good night out with the boys .

" Wayne was a fit , healthy and active young man . The whole family is deeply saddened by the loss of Wayne and he is deeply missed . "

Coroner Alan Craze concluded that Mr Puttick died of natural causes .

A motorist is believed to have died after suffering a heart attack , an inquest heard this week .

Wayne Puttick , 27 , who lived in Golden Cross , near Hailsham , died on April 15 when his Ford Focus struck a wall and overturned into a culvert on the B2124 at Laughton just after 10pm .

Dr Zainab Ali , pathologist at Eastbourne District Geberal Hospital ( DGH ) , said Mr Puttick sustained injuries to his left shoulder , left knee and chest but there were no internal injuries at all .

Mr Puttick , a roofer , was also over the drink-drive limit but the level was not enough to seriously affect his driving , Dr Ali said .

" The only thing I can think of was that it was a cardiac event , " she said , as she told the inquest none of Mr Puttick 's injuries were life-threatening .

Stephen Vinyard , of Laughton , was with his girlfriend heading towards Ringmer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , held yesterday ( Tuesday , August 23 ) , he said : " We heard a skid then a bang . It was like a single car skidding and crashing into something . "

Benjamin Pratt , from Hailsham , was taking his girlfriend home to Brighton , when he came across the scene .

He got out of the car after seeing Mr Vinyard and his girlfriend , thinking they were involved in the crash and asked if they were okay .

In a statement read out at the inquest , Mr Puttick 's mother , Debbie , said : " Wayne was a happy , loving and caring man who would put others before himself . He would change his plans at the last minute to accommodate family and friends as best he could .

" He spent a lot of time in New Zealand , Australia and Japan and returned to the UK in April last year .

" He seemed happy when he came back , spending three months with us in Wales . He worked for a roofing company @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ helped his dad with cutting the grass and other odd jobs . Wayne was a keen footballer and enjoyed cricket and occasionally a good night out with the boys .

" Wayne was a fit , healthy and active young man . The whole family is deeply saddened by the loss of Wayne and he is deeply missed . "

Coroner Alan Craze concluded that Mr Puttick died of natural causes .

A group of philanthropists have joined forces in a bid to purchase the controversial recreation ground at Julian Bower in Louth , to preserve it as a site for community use .

However , the viability of the proposal will hinge on the decision made by the landowners , the King Edward VI School ( KEVIS ) Trust at their autumn meeting - and whether a recent housing application for four bungalows is granted planning permission .

The Julian Bower site has been the subject of controversy in recent months , as the dispute over the ? true archeological and historical significance of the land continues .

As reported previously , a report by Allen Archeology , following a survey of the site last autumn , stated that there were no archeological significant features or deposits at Julian Bower .

However , a separate report by Dr Kevin Hayward , published in July , concludes that a piece of stone found at the site " could have formed part of the very early ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ site could have been home to the Anglo-Saxon Sidnacester Cathedral , which has been lost and sought for over 1,000 years .

Prisca and the small group of philanthropists have approached the landowners with an expression of interest in buying the site this month .

Their group 's aim would be to first carry out community-led archaeological exploration of the site involving interested local people , under the direction of a professional archaeological company .

When the site 's exact archaeological value has been assessed , the group would then aim to plant the site up as a wild flower meadow with a reconstructed turf maze and educational information boards relating the history of the site .

All profits from the sales of Prisca 's book , ' From Pagan Stone to Soaring Spire ' , due to be released this autumn , will also be put into a charitable fund to support archeological exploration in the local area

Prisca 's letter to the KEVIS Trust , on behalf of the philanthropists , states : " The site could then continue to be used by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , or taking in the beautiful panoramic views and the particularly impressive view of St James ' Church .

" It is envisaged that this would enhance , promote and preserve the cultural and historical footprint of Louth and help to encourage more tourism into and regeneration of the town . "

When approached by the Leader for comment , a spokeswoman for the KEVIS Trust said : " Trustees are scheduled to meet on September 26 but , subject to the availability of Trustees , it is hoped to arrange to meet sooner to discuss two expressions of interest received by the Charity .

" Over a year ago , the Charity accepted an offer for the former playing field and that offer is still current .

" Trustees are required by The Charity Commission to obtain best value . "

Devoted dad Steven Scaddan is calling for speed limits to be lowered on a main road connecting Dewsbury and Morley , after his wife and daughter were involved in a " terrifying " collision .

The car Tracey Scaddan and the couple 's two-year-old daughter Caitlin were travelling in was hit , by a " recklessly " driven stolen vehicle , as it reversed into their driveway on Leeds Road , in Dewsbury last month .

Their car was sent spinning and 36-year-old Mr Scaddan , who was notified of the accident by a family member , feared his family had been " left for dead " .

He said : " They are both to this day still recovering and we were informed by the police and fire brigade that if we had a smaller car they would both be dead . "

Mr Scaddan , who has lived on Leeds Road for more than a decade , said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ night and his wife is struggling to come to terms with the shock of what has happened .

" I just wish I could swap positions with her , " he said . " I wish I could have been in that car instead of her . It is really distressing thinking about what could have been . "

Mr Scaddan has set up a petition calling for action to make the road safer .

And it has gained nearly 1,000 signatures in just over a week . He said : " I am campaigning for a safe road , for the lowering of the speed limit to 30mph , for putting permanent speed cameras along the road and if another pedestrian crossing was put in , it would be brilliant .

" Just anything that will bring the speed down and make the road safer for the young families and older generation that live here .

" At the moment the road is a death trap , it 's an accident waiting to happen . "

There has already been several fatalities on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And Mr Scaddan said it was only a matter of time " before someone else gets killed " .

" I am extremely lucky to have my family still , " he said . " But this could have been a completely different story .

" I do n't want any one else to go though what my family has and still is going through . "

The petition will be delivered to Kirkless Council 's Director of Place for consideration .

It has been backed by Dewsbury and Mirfield MP Paula Sherriff .

She said : " I 'm very sorry to hear of the terrifying traffic incident involving a family on Leeds Road , Dewsbury .

" The two men left the scene and the stolen vehicle they were driving without any apparent concern for the safety of Mrs Scaddan and her little girl .

" I fully appreciate the serious concerns with traffic safety on Leeds Road and I have contacted Kirklees Council to ask that this is appropriately reviewed and careful consideration is given to the family 's requests @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the Independent Press Standards Organisation 's Editors ' Code of Practice .

A man has been arrested by police after suspicious items sparked a suspected bomb alert and homes to be evacuated in a South Shields street .

Scores of residents were forced to leave their homes in Lake Avenue , Marsden in the early hours of this morning as officers and an army bomb disposal team from Catterick sealed off the area .

The response came after officers discovered what they said ' gave the appearance of improvised explosives ' as they searched a property over an unrelated matter .

Throughout the day searches at the address were carried out by specially trained officers which are now complete .

The Explosive Ordnance Disposal ( EOD ) team carried out a controlled explosion mid-morning on an item police say was not an explosive device .

Around 61 households were evacuated and Temple Park Centre in South Shields was turned into a refuge centre to give residents refreshments .

Police have now confirmed a 38-year-old man was arrested earlier this evening in connection with the incident . He remains in custody and inquiries @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has now been lifted and residents are being allowed back into their homes .

Superintendent Brad Howe said : " First of all I would like to thank local residents for their patience during this incident , I know there has been a lot of disruption for them and I would like to assure them we did not do this without giving a great deal of thought to the impact this would have on them .

" We have been working closely with our colleagues at South Tyneside Council to try and keep this disruption minimal and to make sure there was support for residents who were directly affected by this .

" While initially it appeared there may have been suspected improvised explosive devices in the premises this has proved not to be the case and devices of this nature were not found . Other items were seized which included what is believed to be a homemade taser . "

A man has been arrested by police after suspicious items sparked a suspected bomb alert and homes to be evacuated in a South Shields street .

Scores of residents were forced to leave their homes in Lake Avenue , Marsden in the early hours of this morning as officers and an army bomb disposal team from Catterick sealed off the area .

The response came after officers discovered what they said ' gave the appearance of improvised explosives ' as they searched a property over an unrelated matter .

Throughout the day searches at the address were carried out by specially trained officers which are now complete .

The Explosive Ordnance Disposal ( EOD ) team carried out a controlled explosion mid-morning on an item police say was not an explosive device .

Around 61 households were evacuated and Temple Park Centre in South Shields was turned into a refuge centre to give residents refreshments .

Police have now confirmed a 38-year-old man was arrested earlier this evening in connection with the incident . He remains in custody and inquiries @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has now been lifted and residents are being allowed back into their homes .

Superintendent Brad Howe said : " First of all I would like to thank local residents for their patience during this incident , I know there has been a lot of disruption for them and I would like to assure them we did not do this without giving a great deal of thought to the impact this would have on them .

" We have been working closely with our colleagues at South Tyneside Council to try and keep this disruption minimal and to make sure there was support for residents who were directly affected by this .

" While initially it appeared there may have been suspected improvised explosive devices in the premises this has proved not to be the case and devices of this nature were not found . Other items were seized which included what is believed to be a homemade taser . "

Patients are being given the chance to have their say on the future of health services in Harbottle -- but an attempt to secure a GP practice provider in the village is not an option .

Since October 2015 , services have been provided by the Rothbury Practice twice a week from the Harbottle site , giving patients access to GP and nursing appointments as well as services at the Rothbury site five days a week .

This interim arrangement currently in place in Harbottle was due to end on October 18 , but it has been extended to November 30 , until a way ahead is decided .

It comes after Harbottle Surgery was closed in August 2015 ' in the interests of public safety ' . NHS England claimed it was forced to wield the axe after Dr Rina Miah took the sudden decision not to continue with her contract and was unable to provide GP cover for the surgery .

@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in place was put into action .

Now , Northumberland Clinical Commissioning Group ( NCCG ) is working with NHS England to seek the views of patients on the available options . These are :

l An existing general practice surgery in Northumberland providing a branch surgery in Harbottle ;

l A variety of existing general practice surgeries providing outreach clinics on a sessional basis in Harbottle ;

l Patients asked to re-register with another practice .

The NCCG has said it is not possible to look at securing a GP practice provider in Harbottle , because it is believed that there would now be a very small practice list . It says that experience of recent previous procurements has shown that smaller lists are less likely to attract bidders , adding that it would not be sustainable .

To give your feedback , drop-in to an information session at The Star Inn , Harbottle . These take place next Wednesday and then Thursday , September 8 , both 2pm to 7.30pm . Or visit www.surveymon key.co.uk/r/FPHQJKC

It was amazing to see famous sights like the Taj Mahal in person , learn more about Indian culture , and make a difference in the local community .

Fangfoss is in the final stages of preparations for its annual festival -- FangFest , which will take place during the weekend of Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 September .

" Throughout the village there will be things for people to see and do . At the Rocking Horse Shop there will be talks and demonstrations about the techniques of carving and painting the rocking horses .

" There will be a craft market with stonemasons , stained glass workers and others displaying their work and skills .

" The church hosts a flower festival with this year 's theme being ' simple pleasures ' .

" Past the Rocking Horse Shop there is a classic car rally and refreshments .

" There 's also live music , food , drink and children 's activities are available at the pub and school . To let off more steam the nearby Jubilee Park is worth a visit too . "
