Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 16 November 1771: Rescue boats are brought overland from Stockton to Yarm, flooded by ice melt and heavy rain from Teesdale
- 16 November 1814: Blacksmith Samuel Hick pantomimes for Selby Wesleyans a dream in which he sails to the West Indies to liberate the slaves
- 16 November 1827: John Nicholson, “the Yorkshire Poet,” an “uncouth clownish-looking man,” appears at Bow Street charged with creating a disturbance at Drury Lane
Proverbially:
Munday flitte
Neaver sitte.
