As the UK gears up for bonfire night (here in London it usually means fireworks being fired into or from buses) Mike Jay presents a rollicking history of the wild anti-papist celebrations enacted every 5 November in Lewes, E Sussex. Brass bone and fur-clad vikings bear burning crosses through flame-drenched streets accompanied by zulus, pirates and, my own favourites, the sinister foxes.
Meanwhile, feast your eyes on Mark Bennett‘s photographs and the flash new Cliffe Bonfire Society web site.
