NatWest Bank and the Spirit of Carnival statue, Bridgwater
The town centre bank branch on the left is at 9 York Buildings, Cornhill, Bridgwater.
The work of sculptor David Faulks, the statue on the right was erected in 2005 by Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival to mark the 400th anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot. It depicts a masquerader dressed in early 17th century clothing, holding aloft a lighted Bridgwater squib attached to a squib cosh. For centuries on November 5th, residents of Bridgwater gathered around a bonfire located here in Cornhill to celebrate the failure of Guy Fawkes and his co-conspirators to blow up the Houses of Parliament.

...And stand well back!
A suitably enthusiastic statue faces towards the Cornhill, celebrating one of Bridgwater's notable attractions - the Carnival.
Created by Dave Faulks and funded by voluntary donations, it was officially unveiled in 2005 - celebrating 400 years since the Gunpowder Plot was foiled. Bridgwater has marked this pivotal event in English history by holding the Carnival each November, and as well as lighting bonfires and fireworks the town is home to a very colourful procession of floats.
