Summary
Pictures taken by Michael Gillings of a bonfire at home in Patcham and fireworks lighting up the night sky over Brighton in the 1960s.
Description
Guy Fawkes Night. A bonfire rages in the dark, the bright flames illuminating the face of the family's guy. Fireworks are let off above the Palace Pier on Brighton Seafront. Bursts of colour spin and spark and fly up. Sparks cascade from a beach installation. The End.
