Yorkshire on Sunday 11 May 2025
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 11 May 1641: William Simpson of Little Driffield takes a break from threshing to shear Henry Best’s sheep at Elmswell
- 11 May 1674: A poor man at Ossett (Wakefield) punishes his child for taking a piece of bread
- 11 May 1985: A fire at the Bradford City stadium kills 56
Proverbially:
Sunday clipt, Sunday shorn,
Better t’ bairn had niver been born.
(Moorman 1916)
