Yorkshire on Friday 5 June 2026
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 5 June 1696: The Great Recoinage brings a satellite of the Royal Mint to York and rioting to Rochdale
- 5 June 1866: Crew members of the whaler Diana (Hull) climb an Arctic hillside and leave a memento of home
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)
