The 1895 Blue

The winter of 1894-95 was a cold one. A very cold one. So cold, in fact, that many climatologists came to refer to it as the 'end of the Little Ice Age'.

It was the culmination of ten harsh winters in Britain. Between February 5 and February 14, 1895, the average temperature in Yorkshire sank to an icy -12.7 degrees C. Across the county rivers, lakes and ponds froze solid -including the great River Ouse in the city of York.

“the ice was now become so thick as to beare not onely streets of booths, in which they roasted meate, and had shops of wares, quite acrosse as in a towne, but coaches, carts, and horses, passed over”

The Little blue ghost is a reminder of colder times and the end of “the little ice age”.
