Happy #MoleDay! Right now, it's 6:02am on 23 October, aka 6:02 10/23 in the US date format. Chemists out there will notice this date and time resembles Avogadro's number, a basic measuring unit, which defines the number of particles in one mole of substance.

#OTD 390 years ago 1536 #Hull woke up to find itself occupied by the Pilgrims of Grace. Despite his comment about being too proud to join the rebels, Sir John Constable took command of the town for them - doubtless based at the King's Manor. @hull_libraries @HullMaritime

The preface is written by Brenda Moon (Larkin’s former deputy at Hull) and the essay was first presented at the annual winter meeting of the Friends of Edinburgh University Library on 2nd December 1986. A brilliant self-deprecating tribute to Larkin.

The Pilgrimage of Grace reached its climax locally #OTD 1536 - 490 years ago. #Hull - despite its medieval walls (pic) - agreed to surrender to the rebels (incuding John Hallam), on condition that no unwilling man be forced to join them. @hull_libraries @HullMaritime
