Yorkshire on Friday 23 May 2025
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 23 May 1793: The 14th Foot, predecessors of the West Yorkshire Regiment, chant a French Revolutionary song as they storm enemy trenches at Famars (Valenciennes)
- 23 May 1889: The poet Edward Carpenter writes of walking into the polluted hell that is Sheffield and finding steel producer Charles Wardlow curiously engaged
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)
