Yorkshire on Sunday 10 August 2025
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 10 August 1756: Leeds “gentlemen” burn an effigy of Admiral John Byng, scapegoat for the Whig government’s failure to save Minorca (and the Mediterranean theatre) from the French during the Seven Years’ War
- 10 August 1766: John Wesley crowd-counts 20,000 at Daw Green, Dewsbury
- 10 August 1870: The foundation stone of Bradford Town Hall is laid today, but not by ex-mayor Edward West, godfather of the project
Proverbially:
Sunday clipt, Sunday shorn,
Better t’ bairn had niver been born.
(Moorman 1916)
