When I was a boy back in the late 1940’s we had our Guy Fawkes bonfire in the centre of the road. By the time I was a teenager they were held on the field at the back of Watlington Road, part of Jotman’s Farm. There was competition between the boys of the South Downs estate and those from the station area to try to light each other’s bonfire a few days before the 5th of November. So the older boys used to sleep out in the field to guard their built bonfire.
