As October comes to a close, many people are already preparing for the next big autumnal event - Bonfire Night.

With one of Norwich's biggest fireworks events, the Big Boom, being cancelled for a second year in a row, it may seem as though the city centre is lacking the magic of a fireworks display.

If you're missing the cosy feeling of standing next to a big bonfire as fireworks light up the night sky, why not take a look back at how Norwich celebrated bonfire night in the 1990s?
