LGBT Centre Heritage Walking Tour
Emily was interested to learn about the existing building and carried out some research about the history of the existing LGBT Centre, using the resources at Archives+. She presented this history as a walking tour as part of the first annual LGBT History Festival in Manchester on February 14th 2015.
The 1 hour walking tour tells the story of how Manchester became the first place to build an entirely publicly funded, purpose designed centre for the gay community, just as Thatcher’s government were enacting Section 28.
Feel free to download the guide and carry out the tour yourself (for non-commercial, educational purposes only).
