Yorkshire on Friday 16 October 2026
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 16 October 1685: John Reresby loses his sword between Barnsley and Wakefield
- 16 October 1840: A traffic count is held on Park Road, Sheffield on the quietest day of the week
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)
