Yorkshire on Friday 12 December 2025
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 12 December 1641: John Sugden causes panic in Bradford and Pudsey with news of the imminent advent of genocidal Irish Catholics
- 12 December 1840: A correspondent recalls in the Leeds Mercury the day in the 1770s when Beeston thought it had won a huge prize in a state lottery
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)
