    Ancient conservation techniques are being used to help preserve Reading's historic abbey ruins.

    Hot lime mortar is to be used at the site, which is more than 900 years old.

    Lewis Proudfoot of Cliveden Conservation, who is helping preserve the historic abbey ruins, said the same techniques would have been used in the original construction.

    He said the mortar was in many ways better than cement and modern construction materials.

    The abbey, founded by Henry I in 1121, reopened in June following a three-year, £3.15m conservation project.

    A man has been attacked twice in a fortnight by what police describe as an "out of control" dog in the same park in Poole.

    In this first incident, the victim, a local man in his 40s, was cycling through Bourne Valley Park when he was approached by one of two Alsatian dogs, when the pedal of the bicycle struck the dog, which reacted by biting the victim’s leg.

    On 14 October, the same dog approached the victim, who had to put his bike between him and the dog before asking the owner to control his pet.

    Dorset Police have released a picture of the suspected owner, who uses a walking stick, in the hope of identifying him.
