Yorkshire on Sunday 2 June 2024
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 2 June 1755: John Wesley ponders the cause of the huge landslip (“like many cannons, or loud and rolling thunder”) of 25 March at Whitestone Cliff (Hambleton Hills)
- 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:
Sunday clipt, Sunday shorn,
Better t’ bairn had niver been born.
(Moorman 1916)
