Yorkshire on Friday 23 February 2024
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 23 February 1832: The son of the landlord of the Five Lions Inn, Walmgate, York is carried across the River Foss by a runaway Galloway pony
- 23 February 1863: The Rev Samuel Gray of Cundall tries to make school interesting for a nervous William Allison (12)
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)
