:07:38. > :07:51.we're looking at the impact The rolling waves surged up the

:07:55. > :08:01.The surfing scene in Jersey is bigger than it's ever

:09:08. > :09:12.goes back the best part of ` century. It has always been a real

:10:14. > :10:18.It is looking flat at the moment, but for the rest of us, it hs not
:10:19. > :10:22.looking too bad. Some cloud at times, but also some sunshine. It is
:10:23. > :10:29.often a dry picture, though not always. A stream of cloud rtnning
:10:30. > :10:34.through the UK and into France, and we have just been sitting rhght on
:10:35. > :10:38.the edge of that. All of thd cloud is thanks to a low pressure system

:13:46. > :13:49.For Plymouth, an area with ` fantastic heritage but it does not
:13:50. > :13:53.always managed to showcase ht as well as it can, it will now have the
:13:54. > :14:20.opportunity to really be able to do that. The money will create a we

:14:30. > :14:38.as showcasing existing colldctions there will be material from an image
:14:39. > :14:43.bank with more than 1 million negatives. Our earliest images from
:14:44. > :14:51.the 1860s and we have a few wonderful collections that run right
:14:52. > :14:56.up until 2002. One of them hn particular is a news archivd with a
:14:57. > :15:01.lot of deposits from local photographers dating around from the
:15:02. > :15:04.1920s and also from the 1890s. It is hoped it will double the nulber of
:15:05. > :15:11.visitors to the museum to 200,0 0 a year. It is a lot of money but it is
:15:12. > :15:14.good to know about history. It is really good because I take history
:15:15. > :15:19.at A`level and I think it is an important thing so I am defhnitely
:15:20. > :15:23.up for money being spent on that. 95% of objects that the reghon owns
:15:24. > :15:36.will be on display for the first time. Ian Cooper is with us from the
:15:37. > :15:40.television archive, has this safeguarded your future? It
:15:41. > :15:43.absolutely has. We had amazhng news this morning from the Herit`ge
:15:44. > :15:51.Lottery Fund. As a small nonprofit charitable organisation historically
:15:52. > :15:55.we have always been consciots about the need to secure long`terl future
:15:56. > :16:00.but we have never found the means to do that. This history Centrd really
:16:01. > :16:04.does do that for us. It enables us to really get our material out into
:16:05. > :16:10.the public domain to be celdbrated which is what it is therefore. It
:16:11. > :16:16.gives you a home, doesn't it? Absolutely right. We are currently
:16:17. > :16:20.about to move to central offices in the heart of Plymouth as a temporary
:16:21. > :16:26.measure but then going into the new history Centre in five years time,
:16:27. > :16:33.we will have a brand`new facility with our key partners, Plymouth City
:16:34. > :16:36.Council, Southwest image bank, to really champion Plymouth and the
:16:37. > :16:42.region's amazing history and heritage. Obviously the history and
:16:43. > :16:47.heritage is so important, you have brought some footage and today which
:16:48. > :16:56.I think is from 1912 of Plylouth town centre. Yes, Plymouth town
:16:57. > :17:02.centre before the three towns became one in November 1914. This hs around
:17:03. > :17:08.about two years prior to th`t and you are looking at early street
:17:09. > :17:13.scenes of Plymouth. It is in and around union Street and over towards
:17:14. > :17:19.what is now Royal Parade. You will notice it looks remarkably different
:17:20. > :17:24.to now. Yes, it has been colpletely transformed. We will listen to
:17:25. > :17:32.another clip which is from the 0s and has a bit of the Beatles. You?
:17:33. > :17:38.Fine thank you. What do you think of Plymouth? It is OK, we haven't seen
:17:39. > :17:42.much of it. We just drove in. That was a tiny crowd out there. It
:17:43. > :17:49.doesn't worry us. It is not worrying me, isn't worrying you? I think it
:17:50. > :17:53.will be bigger when we go ott. Yes. People will be able to come in and
:17:54. > :18:00.the interactive with archivd like that when it is setup. Yes, the
:18:01. > :18:04.cornerstone of the history bid was to make it use a lead for the
:18:05. > :18:08.general public to come in and enjoyed this new interactivd
:18:09. > :18:13.facility. It will really unlock our heritage and throw open the doors
:18:14. > :18:17.and make it something that we are all clearly proud of but now we can
:18:18. > :18:22.really get our hands on it `nd interact with it in a way that just
:18:23. > :18:25.has not been achievable prior to this. Congratulations and thank you

:18:30. > :18:32.have a Plan B for the torrential rain that forced the cancellation
:18:33. > :18:37.who had tickets will be offdred a refund but it's not clear
:18:38. > :18:39.whether traders who lost money will get compensation.
:18:40. > :18:57.Pastis and pies, this busindss expected to sell up to 2000 of them
:18:58. > :19:00.on Saturday alone at the Devon County Show. Extra staff were
:19:01. > :19:04.brought in to sell it but it was all for nothing because the show was
:19:05. > :19:08.cancelled. It is our biggest payday of the year so to be completely
:19:09. > :19:13.thumped and dropped has been a pretty bad bird. It is not just the
:19:14. > :19:18.lack of trade, it is also the stock that we had ready that we h`ve not
:19:19. > :19:23.been able to use, it is all a fresh product. This was the reason. The
:19:24. > :19:28.car parks were mud baths. Even a plan to lay stone paths on Friday to
:19:29. > :19:34.be abandoned. It was like the Battle of the Somme out here, it w`s
:19:35. > :19:39.absolutely unbelievable. Thd stone will be used and we will put tracks
:19:40. > :19:46.in, using the stone that is here, but it is too early to make any more
:19:47. > :19:50.decisions on what we can do. The Met Office says that on the day before
:19:51. > :19:55.the event and the first day of the show sites nearby soared 20
:19:56. > :20:00.millimetres of rain. The Max average in England is 58 millimetres of rain
:20:01. > :20:06.for the entire month. Over 30,0 0 cars park around the show and
:20:07. > :20:10.organisers say that the park and ride service could not have coped on
:20:11. > :20:16.Saturday but they hope that more people will use park and ride in
:20:17. > :20:21.future. To actually deal with this and make it an exhibition vdnue Park
:20:22. > :20:27.would cost millions. It is just not practical. In the meantime
:20:28. > :20:31.businesses are left counting the cost of Saturday's lost show and
:20:32. > :20:35.waiting to hear if they will get compensation.

:21:04. > :21:07.Bantham is quite a place if you have ?11 million to spare. The s`le of
:21:08. > :21:11.the village is worrying for local people who have got used to how the
:21:12. > :21:16.estate company has looked after the area. They have done a wonddrful job
:21:17. > :21:21.of looking after the estate since the 1920s. It will be tragic if
:21:22. > :21:26.anybody takes it over and tries to develop it commercially. I grew up
:21:27. > :21:33.just up the road. I virtually learned to swim on this beach and I
:21:34. > :21:38.hope that it remains undeveloped. One would hope that whoever comes
:21:39. > :21:42.around would look at what is here now and say, let us take thd best of
:21:43. > :21:48.that, and if there is anythhng better, build on it. Not cole along
:21:49. > :21:54.and think we can make a mint out of the surfing down here or solething
:21:55. > :21:58.like that. There was a policy of renting cottages to local pdople so
:21:59. > :22:03.this is not a wash with second homes and some of the families who live
:22:04. > :22:07.here have done so before more than 50 years. Ideally Bantham whll be
:22:08. > :22:11.sold as a whole although thd estate agent is marketing it in sm`ller
:22:12. > :22:16.chunks to insure they get the interest. They are insisting that
:22:17. > :22:20.existing relevance `` residdnts will be protected. There are a ntmber of
:22:21. > :22:32.secure tenants so the village are worried about who the buyer will be
:22:33. > :22:35.but our job is to find someone who will protect the estate and look
:22:36. > :22:38.after it as our clients havd done over the last 100 years. Thdre has
:22:39. > :22:40.been interest from as far away as Australia and Singapore and the
:22:41. > :22:45.estate agents think it will take a few months to find the right buyer.

:23:04. > :23:11.When Forrest Stump was brought in a month ago he was weak and h`d had
:23:12. > :23:15.his tail amputated after a serious injury and the Ranger did not think
:23:16. > :23:20.he would survive but he credits his recovery to a special friendship
:23:21. > :23:24.with a family dog. He was so frail that he needed something to give him
:23:25. > :23:30.a bit of a boost. The minutd you left him he would start cryhng.
:23:31. > :23:34.Barney lives at home with us and he was unfortunately dumped on us and
:23:35. > :23:38.dumped in our barn a couple of years ago so he was a rescue dog himself
:23:39. > :23:54.and he was very friendly so soon as he heard the fox cub wanted to get
:23:55. > :23:57.involved. Because Forrest Stump has been hand reared he cannot be
:23:58. > :24:00.released into the wild so hd will join the other hand reared foxes on
:24:01. > :24:02.the farm. He will be in good company. This is also home to attain
:24:03. > :24:06.Crow and a blind hedgehog. The job now is to get the fox cub fht and
:24:07. > :24:10.teaching canine social skills. The main thing we cannot give hhm is
:24:11. > :24:14.teaching him dog and fox ethquette and building up muscle and bone
:24:15. > :24:19.strength. Lots of really vigorous activity is good for him and that is
:24:20. > :24:23.where Barney comes in. Barndy has done such a good job with Forrest
:24:24. > :24:27.Stump that they hope to introduce into the adult foxes in the next few
:24:28. > :24:34.weeks where he will get a ndw home and a new family.

:24:42. > :24:47.I did not think dogs and foxes got on, might hate them, they go mad.
:24:48. > :24:54.We have seen it all. And now Holly is here. Hello, Holly. He w`s
