Many years ago I worked in Yorkshire and they many had an unusual tradition. Good Friday was not a holiday but was a normal working day. That may seem strange but there was a reason for it. People got the Tuesday after Easter Monday as a holiday instead.

Now there was a reason for this and that was the cotton mills. You see the people would work Monday to Saturday for a normal week then they would close down the boilers that powered the place for Sunday. The problem that gave was it meant that they had to power the boilers off on a Thursday so that the workers could have Good Friday as a holiday. They would then have to get them working again so that the the mills could operate on the Saturday. That cost money so they came up with a solution.

The workers did a normal day right through until Saturday then they got Monday and Tuesday as a day off. I worked at one place where we would get Good Friday, Easter Monday and the Tuesday as holiday.
