Stories to make you smile from across Yorkshire

Every week in Yorkshire, we cover uplifting and feel-good stories across our region - and we like to shout about them.

This week, among other stories, we are featuring a daring dog rescue, a pool team's £10,000 victory and a portrait of a chip shop owner which boasts a surprising royal connection.

When Dorothy Henry arrived in the UK from Grenada in the 1950s, she started a dynasty - three generations of women who dedicated their lives to NHS patients.

She came to Huddersfield, with her daughter Jacquelin, and picked up a job at a care home.

Twenty years later, Jacquelin joined the NHS as a nurse at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary.

Today, Dorothy's grandchild, Emma Fleary, has carried on the tradition by working in midwifery at Bradford Royal Infirmary.

Their shared career path brought them all together in way "I never sort of expected", Fleary said

She added that she hoped the family legacy would continue through her 12-year-old son, Amos, who she was encouraging to pursue a career in physiotherapy.

A dog which fell 30ft (9m) down a hole during Storm Boelo is "back to normal" after being saved by mountain rescuers, its owner has said.

Freddie, a Cocker Spaniel, had been out walking with owner Tom Hollingworth near The Stang, a moorland ridge at the border of North Yorkshire and County Durham.

The black and tan dog became stranded in a pothole, but thanks to the efforts of volunteer-run rescue team Swaledale MRT, was safely brought back to the surface.

Freddie was largely unharmed and was now "happier than ever, just back to normal", Hollingwood said, adding: "Without [the rescuers], Freddie would still be stuck."

A Barnsley fish and chip shop owner has been immortalised by a royal portrait artist to celebrate the impact independent businesses have in their communities.

Pindy Kaur has been painted by artist Nicky Philipps, who has previously painted members of the Royal Family, including the late Queen Elizabeth II.

Kaur runs Monk Bretton's Ocean Fish Bar, and has been serving fish and chips since the early 2000s.

"To have me painted by someone that's painted the Queen, it's just amazing," she said.

The portrait is part of the Local Royalty campaign by Coca-Cola GB, and will go on show from 28 October at the Saatchi Gallery in London.

As East Yorkshire Motor Services marks 100 years, a group of enthusiasts are helping to preserve its history by restoring a fleet of the company's vintage buses.

Hobbyists at Hull Bus Restorers are currently working on five heritage vehicles, including a bus that has a curved roof, designed to fit through Beverley's North Bar.

Volunteer and former bus driver Phil Russell has been working with engines for nearly five decades, and said restoring the fleet to its former glory gave the group "a real sense of achievement".

"I just enjoy it - it's our man cave," he joked, adding: "I don't get fed up of it. I'll have the odd days, but most of the time no, because we get an end result."

A pool team from Keighley has won the Ultimate Pool League final, beating 200 teams to the £10,000 prize.

Breaking Bad, from Pilky's Cue Sports Club and Bar, beat Leicester's Rail Huggers 25-19 in the final at the Cue Club, in Leicester, just four months after they were formed.

The team consists of captain Dylan Mitchell and players Summer Ibbs, Logan Robinson, Luca and Sergio Dellucci, Jordan Kellett, Stephen Almond and Ian Taylor.

"It was an unbelievable night for the club and the team," said Pilky's manager Ryan Stewart, who said the team had "outdone all our expectations".

"Last night they were all phenomenal. All season they've been brilliant," he said.
