Weekly round-up: Five stories you may have missed

The discovery of a tooth from a prehistoric crocodile and reaction to a tree that fell across a busy city centre street were among our most read stories in the south of England this week.

We have picked five articles from the past seven days across Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Dorset, Berkshire and Oxfordshire to keep you up to date.

An amateur fossil hunter who found a rare fragment from the world's oldest marine crocodile said she thought it was a piece of wood with nails driven through it.

The upper jawbone fossil, found during a guided walk along the Lyme Regis shore in Dorset, is thought to be one of only 11 found from the animal.

It is on display at the Lyme Regis Museum and palaeontologist Dr Paul Davis said that it would help researchers understand how the prehistoric "Charmouth Crocodile" hunted in the world's early oceans.

The animal - species name Turnersuchus hingleyae - was discovered in Charmouth in 2017 by two amateur fossil hunters.

Keeping all of the King Charles III England Coast Path open will be "challenging", according to Natural England.

Parts of the 2,689-mile route, which was inaugurated by the King in April, are currently inaccessible because of recent landslips.

In Hampshire, walkers expressed frustration the path stops abruptly at Southampton Water, where the Hythe Ferry has been out of service for 18 months.

And in Dorset, some landowners have failed to reach agreements about the path crossing their land.

Walkers and cyclists were "shocked and startled" to see a tree had fallen in a city centre, an onlooker has said.

The tree fell on Broad Street from The University of Oxford's Trinity College on Tuesday evening, blocking the road.

Matthew Shaw said he cycled along the street at about 17:25 BST but when he returned 30 minutes later the tree was on the ground.

Oxfordshire County Council said the tree was cleared by contractors as it was impacting the road. No one was hurt in the incident.

A 19th Century bronze statue is set to return to a garden in Windsor Castle decades after it was removed.

The sculpture of Hercules and writhing serpent Achelous was removed from Kew Gardens, where it had stood since 1963, in the autumn.

Owned by the Royal Collection Trust, it was bought by George IV in 1829 and first installed in Windsor Castle's East Terrace Garden in 1909.

The project to move it back to the same garden, which has recently been renovated to King Charles' designs, has been formally submitted to the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead.

The owner of a 10-week-old business says a key road being closed for nearly two weeks is a "big blow", with bookings "notably dropping for the first time since opening".

Fairlee Road on the Isle of Wight is closed in both directions until 1 May, with drivers and buses diverted during the roadworks.

Sam Shaw, owner of The Cockle, a new restaurant off Fairlee Road, says he was not told about the closure and instead found out through a staff member who travels in by bus.

Island Roads says the closure is needed to allow major water and sewerage improvement works to be carried out.
