Then!
Yorkshire in history:

- 18 September 1858: The Spectator is bowled over by the new Leeds Festival chorus’s singing of the Messiah – “the music text-book of the West Riding”
- 18 September 1880: An elderly reader of the Leeds Mercury recounts in its children’s column a pre-1839 alternative to flogging in a one-room school
- 18 September 1904: Henry Ross of Sheffield kidnaps neighbour Jenny Whitnear’s youngest son and flees to New Jersey, but 30 years later everyone will have questions to answer
