This England: Spurring stuff

This column – which, though named after a line in Shakespeare’s Richard II, refers to the whole of Britain – has run in the NS since 1934.

By New Statesman

As some of you are aware a police exercise took place at Haworth today and, in full regalia, our very own deputy lieutenant took part. Sadly, he has lost a spur somewhere in Haworth Railway Yard. Being essential to his uniform, the deputy lieutenant has asked if anyone finds this, described as “a horseshoe shape with a dangly bit hanging from it”, please let him know.
