Yorkshire on Sunday 5 October 2025
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 5 October 1665: John Reresby finds that Charles II has broken a promise and made someone more generous than him sheriff of Yorkshire
- 5 October 1727: The burial of Francis West (80) removes a witness of the deforestation caused by demand for charcoal in iron production around Higham (Barnsley)
- 5 October 1833: The Leeds Mercury calls on local textile manufacturers not to sack the 30,000 workers who refuse to renounce trade union membership
- 5 October 1895: With the Northern Rugby Football Union only six weeks old, a perhaps upper-class Londoner laments that payments for “broken time” will lead to professionalism
Proverbially:
Sunday clipt, Sunday shorn,
Better t’ bairn had niver been born.
(Moorman 1916)
