- 11 April 1812: On a moonless night, Luddites attack William Cartwright’s mill at Rawfolds (Cleckheaton) – subsequently inspiring Charlotte Brontë’s “Shirley”
- 11 April 1827: York’s medieval Company of Merchant Adventurers asks a court to prevent John Harwood, a Petergate druggist, from selling foreign goods without membership or a licence
