Guy Fawkes, the most famous conspirator - though probably not the leader of the plot as many people believe - is customarily burned in effigy on a huge public bonfire. Private bonfires and fireworks parties are also held.
In York, however, there are a few places where the festivities might be a bit more subdued and where the burning of a "Guy", as the effigy is called, are unlikely. In York on Bonfire Night, thoughts turn to one of the city's most infamous sons.
Guy Fawkes, you see, was a Yorkshire lad.
