16 Worcester Bonfire Night photos from 1973 to 2008

They date from 1973 to 2008.

Many of them involve the popular Pitchcroft display which has been cancelled since 2022 when the organising group Worcester Round Table disbanded.

People are pictured thoroughly enjoying the annual celebrations - are you pictured and do you have any memories of these events?
