EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the nostalgic era of the 1970s. The image captures a remarkable sight on Brockham Village Green - an enormous seven-foot Guy Fawkes effigy created for their world record attempt at the largest bonfire. The towering figure stands proudly against the backdrop of a crisp autumn evening, its imposing presence commanding attention from all who pass by. Crafted with meticulous detail, it is evident that countless hours were dedicated to constructing this larger-than-life creation. As we delve into the rich history behind this photograph, we uncover cherished childhood memories and age-old customs. The tradition of "penny for the guy" comes to mind, where children would roam through towns and villages in search of spare change to fund their own Guy Fawkes effigies.

It symbolizes unity and camaraderie as villagers gather around this colossal masterpiece, eagerly anticipating the lighting of what promises to be an awe-inspiring bonfire. Through Memory Lane Prints' lens, we are transported back in time; our imaginations ignited with tales passed down through generations. This print evokes feelings of warmth and nostalgia while honoring timeless customs that continue to shape our cultural heritage today.
