FIREWORKS IN ENGLAND By Larry Crump

During my trips to England, I have enjoyed seeing and firing fireworks that are somewhat different than those available in America. I hope you will enjoy seeing some of these gems from the U.K.

I went back through the dummy fireworks given to me during my visit to Standard Fireworks and thought it would be appropriate to add this assortment of small fountains, recognizing Guy Fawkes Day.

Fireworks are sold in shops in England. I took this photo at Adams of Rye Ltd., on High Street in Rye, East Sussex. There are three more glass cases there, full of fireworks, all featured on English Fireworks Photo Page 2.

A large and impressive three-tube fountain made by Kimbolton Fireworks of Kimbolton, England.

A marvelous four-tube fountain also made by Kimbolton Fireworks.

A six fountain set piece made by Kimbolton Fireworks. Very special.

Part of a rocket pack from Kimbolton Fireworks. These are large shell-headed display rockets. American consumers cannot buy rockets even close to this size.

From Standard Fireworks of Huddersfield, England here's a counter-rotating double wheel. Very showy with a nice spread. This item is approximately 10 inches (250 mm) in diameter.

A nice assortment pack of Standard fireworks containing fountains, Roman candles and a Jack in the Box mine.

A large mine and Roman candle battery and five sizes of shell-head rockets from Standard Fireworks. The MEGA Rocket body is 8 inches (200 mm) long.

Large display mines from Kimbolton Fireworks. These are approximately 12 inches (300 mm) tall. Excellent height and effects.

I could not finish without honoring Brocks Fireworks for producing one of the best crowd pleasers I ever fired. This is a professional display shell loaded with hummers. For those not familiar with hummers, the shell discharges a number of tubes that make a sound like an old mechanical American police or fire siren. Brocks' resin-bonded product line no longer exists but some of these shells do, I'm happy to report.
