Guy Fawkes The York UK link to the gunpowder plot 1605 Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot 1605 - The York Connection On November 5 2005 we celebrated the 400th anniversary of the arrest of Guy Fawkes. With the utmost in considered wisdom, as one would expect from York Council, they decided to keep the full location of the Rocket Launch site, from where the fireworks would come a secret. The obvious aim here is to stop the mass hysteria that would otherwise erupt if everyone in town knew where to go, as had happened for hundreds of years previous. So grab a beer in a pub and stand outside in the cold and rain, you may get lucky. This is what I can only call a sad affair and a real lack of insight by the city council. There is an obvious opportunity for tourism in the city on a date of the calander that is otherwise "the down season". Non the less, Guy Fawkes death is still celebrated as bonfire night on November 5th every year in England. Even if York city council can't see this opportunity, the public do celebrate it anyway.
