Gay Birmingham Remembered

A Trust House Hotel

1962

The main gay bar in the 1960s was the Imperial Hotel, which John used when he discovered gay bars. “The Imperial Hotel was a Trust House Hotel; oddly enough by then I was travelling and the main gay bar in Nottingham was also in a Trust House Hotel. When I first went into town the Imperial had been raided and everyone scared off and migrated across the road to the Trocadero”.
