Do you remember Howsham Mill on the River Derwent in Ryedale?

The Grade II-listed 18th Century mill was a finalist on the 2006 BBC Two series Restoration Village.

Work to rescue the mill, overseen by the Renewable Heritage Trust, began in 2004.

It now supplies energy to the National Grid and children can go there to learn about it.

I've been to meet the team that runs it and bumped into Trustee, Valerie Hood, who says the mill, on an island in the middle of the Derwent, is "a magical place for children to visit"

A cat from Wakefield is in the running for a top national award.

Cat lovers in the Norfolk Road area of Sheffield may want to keep an extra eye on their feline friends.

Up to eight have gone missing in the last year.

Three of Anna Sherman's cats are among those who have disappeared without trace...

The Home Office is under pressure to explain how one of the London Bridge attackers was able to return to the UK, despite being placed on a watch list.

The Italian authorities said they'd issued warnings about Yousef Zaghba, who they suspected of supporting the so-called Islamic State group, after he tried to travel to Syria.

Meanwhile, a recent graduate of the University of York, has been talking about her experience of being caught up in the incident.

Marie Poupinel was hiding in a London bar when the attackers were shot by police just metres away.

She says being with friends at the time was both "a blessing and a curse":

The first week of North Yorkshire Police's summer campaign on drink and drug driving has seen 17 arrests.

Eleven arrests have been made for drink driving since 1 June and six arrests for drug driving.

Eight of those arrested for drink driving provided a positive breath test of over twice the legal limit.

It included one man, stopped on the A61, providing a sample almost four times over the legal limit for alcohol.

Commenting on the results so far, Sgt Andy Morton said “At this early stage of the campaign, it’s disappointing to see some drivers continue to ignore the warnings and pay no attention to the safety of other road users.

“Its also sad to see the alarming trend of being multiple times over the legal limit continuing."

Experts from the University of Sheffield have designed a system that'll keep the stadium cool at the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

It's been officially unveiled at the newly renovated Khalifa stadium.

The 40,000 seat Khalifa Stadium was first opened in 1976, but has undergone extensive renovations for the World Cup.

The tournament has already been moved from the summer to November and December, but temperatures could still reach 29C.

Dr Ben Hughes’s team, from Sheffield’s Energy 2050 institute, worked with colleagues from Qatar University to design the system.

Dr Hughes says the system is greener than air conditioning and "cools the outside air and and pushes it through to the pitch, stands and concourse areas."

It was later finished by a luthier in Oxford, before being bought by folk musician Sam Sweeney, who plays the violin for folk band Bellowhead, in 2009.

Mr Sweeney played the violin at Pte Howard's grave in Ypres.

He said: "It was incredible. About 100 people were there and some of his descendants came.

"His granddaughter did a reading of a poem she wrote about him. It was very moving.

"It's amazing - his family has been reunited because of this violin."

Mr Howard was a luthier and music hall performer in Leeds.

He was conscripted into the 10th battalion, Duke of Wellington's (West Riding) Regiment at the age of 35 in 1915 and was among seven men from the regiment who were killed on the first day of the battle in Belgium.
