Bonfire Night
One of the many memories I have of Battle is of Bonfire Night, November 5th. Every November 5th,Battle had one of the best November 5th bonfire celibrations in Sussex, it was lots of fun. I remember Battle Rousers( home made fire works), they were awesome, aranged in circles and let fly, they would run and then explode with a huge bang, very scarey. There was also a huge parade down the High Street, Guy Fawkes would be placed on top of the big fire in front of Battle Abbey and the fire would be lit. A rousing cheer would erupt. Thanks to the Battle Bonfire Boys. What a memory. The Abbey Hotel across the street did a huge trade that night!
