Yorkshire on Sunday 18 October 2026
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 18 October 1765: Court-appointed experts order alum producers Samuel Howlett and John Mathews of Iburndale, Sleights, to clean up Whitby harbour and the Esk
- 18 October 1835: A Keighley churchwarden and constable drag one Mr Aken, a local bookseller and printer, into Sunday service
- 18 October 1966: The charter converting the Bradford Institute of Technology into the University of Bradford defines its secondary object as “the application of knowledge to human welfare”
Proverbially:
Sunday clipt, Sunday shorn,
Better t’ bairn had niver been born.
(Moorman 1916)
