Yorkshire on Friday 16 May 2025
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 16 May 1687: John Reresby goes to Rotherham to receive an ancestral rent of one penny and the use of an inn room
- 16 May 1881: J. Gill (72) of Sugden & Briggs, wool spinners, Bradford, dies of pulmonary anthrax, and his successor, J.R. Baker (58), is fatally infected with cutaneous anthrax
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)
