Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 11 October 1643: Reinforced, Ferdinando Fairfax’s Parliamentary forces break the will of the Royalist besiegers of Hull
- 11 October 1776: The civil engineer John Smeaton advises Leeds Infirmary on the storage of water for washing and brewing
- 11 October 1786: George Yardley, charcoal-burner, dies as he had lived
Proverbially:
Sunday clipt, Sunday shorn,
Better t’ bairn had niver been born.
(Moorman 1916)
