yorkshire boards

[Forever Fendt]

we have a couple of sheds with yorkshire boards on gable ends both about 7 years old they are treated but have faded to nearly white i wonder would it be a good idea to paint them with old black oil or am i wasting my time ?

The only good thing to come out of Yorkshire apart from the M62 (landyman ducks and runs)

 

[YorkshireAndrew]

Hope you can run fast !

 

[Landyman]

Faster than you can load yer catapult with a pudding

Had a builder quote us for a lean-to, told him we wanted Yorkshire boarding which we thought was a generally understood term but he'd never heard of it. This is in Shropshire.
The quotation came in with "timber and gap" walls.

Is it right it was invented by a Yorkshireman trying to save on the cost of timber?

Invented by a lancastrian, sold to a yorkshire man as full length windows
