Yorkshire on Friday 5 January 2024
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 5 January 1726: Mr Wordsworth of New Laithes Grange (Horsforth) produces evidence of an attempted burglary and a lucky escape
- 5 January 1846: Writing to fellow-botanist William Borrer, Richard Spruce of Ryedale despairs of his Pyrenean mosses arousing interest amid George Hudson’s railway mania
Proverbially:
Dean’t o’ Friday buy your ring,
O’ Friday dean’t put t’ spurrins [banns] in;
Dean’t wed o’ Friday. Think on o’ this,
Nowther blue nor green mun match her driss.
(Moorman 1916)
