Following a post on ‘ facebook’ several local people remembered collecting garden rubbish to construct  communal bonfires in various locations.

Before the row of shops were built at the corner of Broomspath and Devon Road a bonfire was built there.

One person had a painful memory of building a bonfire on the Green near the garage, and inadvertently stabbing his sisters foot when he put his Dad’s fork in the ground

 Another site was on land in Reeds Way prior to houses being built there.
