Grosvenor 1970s
1975
Then Pam’s favourite place opened, the Grosvenor
Hotel on the Hagley Road, very much more upmarket, John Walters owned
it and two of his regular clients were Peter Harris who designed the
muppets and Noelle Gordon as well. The Nightingale had moved to Aston
by the seventies, but it didn’t do well there, it was a long way out of
town for people to go, it came back into town and “That really was the
start of the gay village”.
