Yorkshire on Friday 5 September 2025
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 5 September 1860: Friends of Elizabeth Mitchell (14), murdered by a fellow-servant at Upton (Pontefract), bear her to her grave at South Kirkby
- 5 September 1914: Boycott professional football to get players to fight the Germans, says the ex-vicar of Oulton in the Rothwell local paper
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)
