Bailey the spaniel rescued from muddy lake

A very muddy spaniel was rescued from a boggy lake by firefighters.

The Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service released photos after being called to the lake near Queensway in Caversham, Reading, on Thursday 31 July.

Firefighters from Caversham Road and Whitley Wood attended at 14:00 BST to reports of an animal in distress.

When they arrived, they found spaniel Bailey stuck in the lake and were able to rescue him, hose him down and return him to his owner.

The story behind Radiohead's The Bends album cover

The striking image came about after Thom Yorke and artist Stanley Donwood sneaked into a hospital basement

Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke and artist Stanley Donwood have revealed the front cover of their album, The Bends, came about after the pair sneaked into a hospital basement.

Yorke and Donwood told the story in an interview ahead of a new exhibition of their work at Oxford's Ashmolean Museum.

This year marks 30 years since the release of The Bends, and Donwood said the cover was going to be based on the title of the album's lead single.

"It was a literal thing, because the song was called My Iron Lung, and I was like, 'Let's go and find an actual iron lung and film it'," he said.

'Joy' of living in a 13th Century former mill

Clive Earl says he feels more like a "custodian" of the building than the owner

On the River Alre in Alresford sits Fulling Mill, a picturesque thatch cottage, considered to be one of the oldest continuously occupied buildings in England.

The mill was built in the 13th Century to tighten and shrink cloth into a closely-woven fabric - a process known as fulling.

It fell into disuse in the 19th Century when the cloth industry established large mills to carry out an increasingly mechanised process.

Today it is a private house after being saved from dereliction in 1951, when it was renovated and the garden laid out.

Appeal to fund milk for allergic baby orangutan

A primate sanctuary has appealed for public funding to help it feed a baby orangutan, which has allergies.

Monkey World Ape Rescue Centre in Wareham, collected Sibu Jr when he was just 12 weeks old and on 31 July he celebrated his first birthday.

He was born at Dublin Zoo but had to be moved to Dorset for specialist care, after his mother would not allow him to suckle.

The infant is allergic to the traditional cow's milk formula feed and requires a more expensive alternative, which is why the centre is appealing for public support.

Elk rewilding centre on island gets council backing

Plans to create an International School of Rewilding (ISR) featuring elk on the Isle of Wight have been backed by councillors.

Sandown Town Council is supporting the proposal from Wildheart Trust for a 140-hectare (345-acre) site with elk-rewilded wetlands and visitor facilities.

Chief executive of the trust, Lawrence Bates, told councillors the school would create the "most amazing wildlife spectacle" and "drive people into the area".

According to Wildheart Animal Sanctuary, the ISR would be an "international centre for research, study and innovation in environmental sciences".
