Yorkshire on Wednesday 8 May 2024
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 8 May 1154: The wooden bridge over the Ouse collapses under the crowd welcoming Archbishop William of York back from Rome
- 8 May 1849: Amid revelations of fraud at the York, Newcastle and Berwick Railway, Richard Nicholson, business partner and brother-in-law of the Railway King, George Hudson, drowns himself in the Ouse at York
Proverbially:
New mean, new mean, I hail thee,
This neet my true love for to see.
Not iv his best or worst array,
Bud iv his apparel for ivery day.
That I to-morrow may him ken
Frev amang all other men.
(Moorman 1916)
