Yorkshire on Thursday 22 May 2025
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 22 May 1711: Leeds’s first white-cloth hall is opened on Kirkgate, replacing the outdoor market on Briggate, and competing with Wakefield’s 1710 building
- 22 May 1874: As ironworkers breach their employment contract to celebrate Whitsun, the Darlington Iron Company breaches it too by turning away those wishing to work
