Yorkshire on Friday 17 January 2025
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 17 January 1832: A waning Paganini plays for a grateful but declining public at Leeds Music Hall
- 17 January 1865: At Leeds, temperance advocate Wilfrid Lawson MP calls for the sale of alcohol to be banned
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)
