OK so I’m a few days late from bonfire night but here it is anyway (there’s less than a year ’til the next one). This one comes from Lewes in East Sussex, yet another place in the UK I haven’t visited. This postcard also comes with the photographer’s name ‘Ian Cumming‘ (no sniggering at the back!)
Now if you look at the picture closely, that looks like houses on the right. So was this a bonfire or street riots? Hmm, I’m not so sure about visiting after all. The postcard was sent in from Robin [thanks!] with this tip.
Do not visit Lewes on Bonfire Night if you are of a nervous disposition!
Looking at this picture one may add, “don’t visit if you don’t want your car overturned and used a burning barricade. Too harsh?
Thanks Robin for sending this one in.
From Sofi:
I’ve grown up in a village near Lewes, on Bonfire night there is a parade through the town center, people dress up (as you can see by the “smugglers” above), hold flaming torches & pull along flaming barrels. I personally don’t like it as there can be around 40,000 people attending & it gets very busy!
