Yacht wedged between the Needles and more in Isle of Wight days gone by

The Isle of Wight County Press has been bringing the news to Islanders since 1884. We've delved into the archives to find out what was happening in days gone by. 125 years ago, in August 1900: Horrendous rain and gales brought chaos to the Bank Holiday — labelled "Blank Holiday" — and caused extensive damage to corn fields and orchards. The population on the Island at a recent census amounted to 78,672, showing an increase of 5,039 persons since 1881. In an article on Distinguished Donkeys in a popular monthly, the writer gave particular praise to 23-year-old Ned the Carisbrooke Castle donkey. He said: 'Everyone who has watched him set to work to tread the wheel—that great wheel which draws up water from the well—knows how sagaciously he carries out his task.'

Around the Cowes Week venues, it was noted that press photographers were more numerous than ever as they vied for the best exclusive pictures. Also, police had to be drafted in from other parts of the Island to help deal with extra congestion. 75 years ago, in August 1950: The latest housing return from the Ministry of Health showed that 1,074 new houses had been built on the Island since the war. After the victim toll of infantile paralysis on the Island rose to 28, an infectious diseases specialist recommended that all swimming pools should be closed and children's weekend cinema matinees stopped until the epidemic was stopped. Four cottages in the High Street, Oakfield, Ryde, were gutted by fire, making seven adults and eight children homeless. 50 years ago, in August 1975: Cowes Week witnessed the biggest-ever international entry to the Admiral's Cup race, with over 60 yachts battling it out daily. A clergyman from Kent had a lucky escape when his yacht became wedged between the Needles rocks.

City recycles 75% of glass after bin change

Households in Leeds have recycled 12,000 tonnes of glass since a new collection service began a year ago. Residents have been able to put glass in their green bins since 1 August 2024, as part of Leeds City Council's plan to cut carbon emissions. The authority said the glass recycling levels in the city had increased from 48% to 75% in the first 12 months of the programme, saving 464 tonnes of carbon dioxide. Glass is then sorted at a Leeds plant and re-melted at Yorkshire facilities to produce new bottles and jars, ready for reuse within a month. However, the council has urged residents to recycle even more glass in their green bins, as 25% of all glass is still being put in black bins, according to a spokesperson for the authority. There are also 700 glass recycling banks around the city, which can hold up to 3,000 bottles and jars. Executive member for climate, energy, environment and green space Mohammed Rafique said: "The first year of household glass collections has been a big success so we'd like to say a big thank you to everyone in Leeds for their efforts. "Let's all work together to make the second year of glass collections even more successful than the first, to help the environment and the Yorkshire economy so that everyone wins."

School plans to convert former pub into classrooms

An empty Grantham pub could be turned into a sixth-form centre by a nearby school. The King's School has applied to convert the former Five Bells on Brook Street for use by its Year 12 and 13 students. In its planning application, the boys' school said the revamped space would provide "teaching and study spaces specifically tailored to the needs of older students preparing for A-level examinations and university entrance". It would also be used for offices. Plans include removing the bar area, the cellars and the kitchen and converting them into smaller rooms. The application said "no significant external alterations are proposed" except possibly ramps and door widening to improve accessibility. The bid will be considered by South Kesteven District Council. The King's School's former pupils include Sir Isaac Newton and 18th Century Poet Laureate Colley Cibber.
