Yorkshire in history:

- 2 June 1867: Dr Clifford Allbutt tells the Epidemiological Society that the market will not provide decent housing for Leeds’s poorest
- 2 June 1917: Olive Mallet and her lover Alfred Gorham are charged with falsely claiming benefits for poisoning she suffered at Barnbow munitions factory (Leeds)
Proverbially:
Munday flitte
Neaver sitte.
(Best 1857)
