quote from the book night of the fire
it was in 1853,following attempts by authority to move the bonfires from the streets,that sixty members of lewes borough bonfire society paraded though the town in the dress of eighteenth century seamen-white trousers and blue and white striped sweaters  or shirts made to a pattern that originated in guernsey (the traditional Sussex Bonfire Guise of the smuglers)
