GUY FAWKES’ DAY
th
The fine clear night of November 5 was
favourable to pyrotechnic displays in
commemoration of “Gunpowder Plot,” and
there were a good many private
celebrations in Gloucester gardens, and
some surreptitious squibbing in the streets.
There was a good deal of cannon firing and
bonfire burning in Ross and neighbourhood.
The festival was not largely observed in
Stroud, though there were perhaps more
bonfires made and crackers exploded by
the younger generation than has been
common during recent years. The Hospital
did not receive any patients arising out of
the occasion – no rash boys with mangled
fingers or powder-decked faces. It was
nothing like “the good old times” of years
ago, when burning tar barrels were rolled
down the High Street to the terror of the
trades people.
