Three buildings - Northern House, Rougier House and Society Bar - are set to be demolished as part of a planned £150m hotel and office development.

But, before construction begins archaeologists will have the opportunity to excavate the site near to the original Roman crossing of the River Ouse.

York Archaeological Trust, which developed the city's Jorvik Viking Centre, say the dig has the potential to uncover "major discoveries".

Trust CEO, David Jennings said the waterlogged ground conditions in the area meant any items buried there will be well preserved.

"Items discovered in similar ground conditions in Coppergate helped change the world’s perception of the Vikings and made York world-renowned," he said.

"The chance to do the same for the Romans makes this one of the most exciting projects in the world."

Any significant finds will be displayed in a new basement visitor attraction.

A planning application for the 'Roman Quarter' development is due to be submitted in the coming months.

The underside of Scarborough’s historic Valley Bridge is to be repainted at a cost of almost £2m.

Work to repaint the steel girders will take place in two phases with the first running for 20 weeks from 1 July.

The second phase will be carried out next year.

Over the last five years North Yorkshire County Council will have spent nearly £4m on the bridge’s first complete refurbishment since 1933, when the bridge, which first opened in 1865, was rebuilt to accommodate the increase in motorised traffic.

County Councillor Don Mackenzie, says: “When the repainting is finished it'll mark the end of a five year scheme to make it fit for purpose for the next 35 years,”

“Valley Bridge is North Yorkshire’s largest painted bridge structure and requires an enormous amount of paint to protect the girders.

"By the end of the project it will stand proud as a fine historic landmark in Scarborough.”

Residents of a North Yorkshire village say they're hoping to contact the relatives of Hollywood crooner Bing Crosby in a bid to help them bring their favourite pub back to life.

The singer used to visit Kirkby Malzeard near Ripon in the 1970s and campaigners trying to resurrect The Henry Jenkins Inn think a bit of star quality might help them bring back a "vital community asset".

June Fountain, one of the campaigners trying to save the pub, says Crosby was a popular visitor to the area.

"He was a shooting man and he used to shoot on Delagil estate and, being a sports person, he came down here and knocked a few cricket balls about," she says.

"In 1976 he donated more than £1,000 to the HIghside playing field. That's about £10,000 in today's money."

Another campaigner, Richard Sadler, says life in the village has not been the same since the pub closed.

"It was a wonderful place and, like any community pub, it was the throbbing heart of the village, which is why we're so keen to bring it back," Mr Sadler says.

Anyone who saw what happened is being asked to contact police.

Children from four schools in South Yorkshire are heading to London today to be part of almost 1,600 pupils from 35 schools across the UK singing opera on one of the capital's stages.

They're taking part in the largest ever UK performance of Carmen by French composer Georges Bizet.

Each school's been rehearsing for six months and today they come together for a once-in-a-lifetime performance.

High Hazel Academy in Darnall is one of the schools sending its eight-year-olds to take part.

Music teacher Rebecca Oldham, from the school, says: "At the start everyone was giggling when I was doing the gestures we do, but now they all want to do them even bigger.

"Also, musically, it's been a real joy to see children I wouldn't have known had a musical gift flourish."

The budding opera stars are due to perform at the Copper Box arena at London's Olympic Park in Hackney.

Here they are rehearsing their starring roles:

The installation of cameras which will be used to monitor vehicles entering a planned Clean Air Zone in Leeds is due to begin today.

Over 100 cameras are being placed around the city so the highest polluting lorries, buses and taxis can be charged up to £50.

Leeds City Council was asked to tackle air pollution as a priority after roads in the city were identified as likely to fail legal air quality levels by 2020.

The zone was supposed to be up and running at the start of next year but it was recently announced that it had been delayed because of problems with the technology.

A revised date for the scheme to start in Leeds has not yet been announced.

The Probation Service inspection identified shortages of qualified officers in the North East.

A Hull woman whose still-born baby's ashes were scattered without her knowledge is due to meet the Justice Secretary later to discuss her case.

Tina Trowhill (pictured) is calling for a local public inquiry after it was revealed up to 57 families in the city weren't given the ashes of babies who were cremated.

In July 2017, a report into Hull City Council's handling of infant cremations, external said families had been given "incorrect or incomplete information" by its staff.

Mrs Trowhill, and husband Mike, said they were disappointed and have called for an independent inquiry.

Following the publication of the report, the council apologised and admitted "inconsistencies" in its records.

Hull MP Diana Johnson says: "Hull City Council has had a very limited internal review of what happened, but not talked to funeral directors or the NHS. So there's an incomplete picture of what happened."

Hull City Council says another investigation isn't needed.

In a statement, the authority said: "Our position remains we do not think a local public inquiry in Hull will provide any additional information than our current investigations already have done."
