Yorkshire on Friday 7 August 2026
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 7 August 1611: Jonas Poole’s London whaler sinks in Forlandsundet (Spitsbergen), and the survivors make for the Hopewell of Hull
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)
