There's a chance in Hull to take a step back in time and buy unworn vintage items.

A pop-up vintage clothing shop for kids has opened today in Hull's Fruit Market area.

Dove House Hospice is behind POP on Humber Street, which will be open for the next four weekends.

All the clothes are unworn and were found wrapped in a warehouse, untouched since the 1960s and 70s.

A North Yorkshire charity which worked with survivors of abuse at a private Catholic school in North Yorkshire says some victims struggled to be taken seriously.

It follows a report published yesterday from the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) which found monks had attempted to cover up allegations at Ampleforth College, near Helmsley, and had ignored safeguarding advice issued by the Church in 2001.

The report describes how schools "prioritised monks and their own reputations over the protection of children" and says "appalling" abuse was inflicted on pupils over 40 years.

Dani Wardman, from the charity Survive, says victims weren't listened to:

Signs have been put up warning people to avoid going into the water and to keep their pets away.

If you live in East Yorkshire and are fed up with speeding drivers in your area you could soon be able to help catch them following a successful experiment in North Lincolnshire.

A project which sees volunteers using hand-held speed guns to catch people driving too fast is being rolled out across the whole of the Humberside Police force area.

A total of 54 drivers were caught speeding through Thornton Curtis, North Lincolnshire, during a three-week pilot earlier this year.

Details on how local residents can get involved will be announced in the coming weeks.

With almost long period of hot and dry weather behind us, motorists are being told to be careful on the roads as we head into a wet weekend.

This car crashed into a wall near Huddersfield earlier today because this morning's rain made the road's surface very slippery.

The car came round the bend and lost control on the slippery surface.

There we no injuries in the crash.

From time to time, amid the hurly-burly of modern life, it's nice to escape to a more tranquil environment.

This man in York manages it by taking to the river Ouse in his kayak - and he gets to see quite a few interesting sights too.

You can join him for a view from the kayak cockpit here.

Watch out for the wild water, the wave surfing, the huge sculpture - and the massive carnivorous fish!:

Controversial plans to close A&E services at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary (HRI) have been axed by NHS bosses, but the move has been greeted cautiously by one of the area's MPs.

Labour's Thelma Walker says she has concerns "about each of the proposals which are being put forward."

The MP said in a statement: "Colne Valley residents deserve access to a comprehensive A&E service that includes emergency ambulance admissions."

In the revised plans, HRI would remain open to walk-in emergency patients, but those picked up in an ambulance would be taken to Calderdale Royal Hospital in Halifax.

The MP who represents Colne Valley added: "I am yet to see any detail of this plan and I have reservations about its achievability."

A man was punched in the face and had his mobile phone and cash stolen in a violent robbery in Doncaster, police say.

Some businesses in York say increasingly anti-social drunken behaviour at weekends is damaging the city's reputation.

They say the number of stag and hen parties drinking in the city centre puts people off coming in to do their shopping.

Andrew Burton runs a café in the city - he says rowdy behaviour, which he blames on the high number of licensed premises, is "killing off trade":

Jane Mowatt, head of community safety at the City of York Council, says they're doing "absolutely everything they can" to make people feel safe:

The heathland fire has been burning since Thursday afternoon, but dry and windy conditions mean the fire is growing:

More details have been released about the stabbing of a taxi driver in Batley a week ago.

It happened at about 01:40 last Friday on Bradford Road after the 36-year-old driver had picked up two customers from the Crown Cars depot.

As he was driving along Bradford Road towards Batley, his car was overtaken by a silver Ford Galaxy which pulled in front of him.

He got around it and pulled in at the BP garage a little further on, but then a second car, a silver Volkswagen Golf, along with the Ford tried to ram the taxi.

The driver and his passengers got out of the car and ran, but the suspects caught up with the driver and stabbed him in the leg, arm and head.

He remains in hospital in a serious but stable condition in hospital.

Police say they want to trace the passengers so they can talk to them about what happened and stress that they are not in any trouble.

It's been a summer of outside relaxation as the sun's defied expectations and continued to shine in a decidedly un-British fashion.

For many, that's meant more time than usual in the beer garden of the local pub.

And if that particular pub garden is The Standard in Northallerton, North Yorkshire, there's been a surprise waiting in "plane" sight:

The blue-green algae outbreak was spotted in Sandall Park and Doncaster Council is telling people to stay away.

In a statement, the council says the algae hasn't been confirmed as being toxic, but if it is it could kill animals.

The recent warm weather has meant that algae has also bloomed at places like Coniston Water in the Lake District (pictured above), according to the Environment Agency.
