Bonfire night 1965
Cine film by Jim Wright
November 5, 1965. Local kids build a bonfire in the old recreation ground at the top of Jericho Street, now the school playground. the City Council regularly remove all the rubbish, but the kids just get some more to build it up again. Finally it produces a fine blaze, with some singed sausages, and fingers.
Where the community centre came from?
The centre was built at the end of the 19th century as the Church Institute for St. Barnabas.
Where we work?
