Yorkshire on Thursday 24 July 2025
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 24 July 1761: Jonas Rushford (14) of Bradford tells a perhaps envious John Wesley how the Skipton magician Timothy Crowther helped him find a missing man
- 24 July 1766: Hats off for Jesus at Pateley Bridge
- 24 July 1771: Actor-manager Tate Wilkinson opens Puritan Leeds’ first proper theatre with comic impressions of leading Methodists
- 24 July 1926: “Leeds Corporation’s clean air strategy focuses too much on buildings and not enough on people”
Proverbially:
New mean, new mean, I hail thee,
This neet my true love for to see.
Not iv his best or worst array,
Bud iv his apparel for ivery day.
That I to-morrow may him ken
Frev amang all other men.
(Moorman 1916)
