15th August, Blind Jack Metcalf
James, are you the one who wrote the Wikipedia article on John Metcalf, civil engineer?
Not me, no.
The main source I use for people like Blind Jack is the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, which is available online and then, for this "Yorkshire oddities, incidents, and strange events' from 1877 which is a great fun read.
