November 5th, Bonfire Night in Lewes, Sussex (1892): A Glimpse into the Past This evocative photograph captures the essence of Bonfire Night in Lewes, Sussex, in 1892, an age-old tradition that continues to captivate and intrigue. The scene unfolds in the bustling High Street, where the anticipation of the evening's events is palpable. The air is thick with the scent of woodsmoke and the sound of laughter and excitement. At the heart of the celebration, a 'Guy' effigy, fashioned from old clothes, straw, and twigs, stands tall on a makeshift pyre. The figure, symbolizing Guy Fawkes, the infamous plotter of the Gunpowder Plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605, awaits his fiery demise. The crowd, a sea of Victorian-era attire, gathers around, some with faces etched with excitement, others with a hint of trepidation. The evening's customs are in full swing. Bonfires, fueled by the collective efforts of the community, blaze brightly in various locations throughout the town. The flames, once the Guy is consumed, will symbolically cleanse the town of evil spirits. The night's festivities culminate with the grand procession of the 'Bonfire Boys,' local organizations responsible for organizing the bonfire celebrations. This photograph, taken in 1892, offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the rich tapestry of customs and traditions that have shaped the character of Lewes and Sussex. Bonfire Night, a testament to the enduring spirit of community and history, continues to be celebrated with passion and enthusiasm in Lewes and beyond.
