The Greyhound Cider House 1977-'80
Caroline recalls "Gradually some lesbian women
joined the women’s group and one suggested that after our group meeting
on Tuesday evening, we went to the Purple Room, a private room in the
Greyhound Cider House on Holloway Head. The woman was very specific,
she said ‘There’s a lot of lesbians there, but you don’t have to be
lesbian to go'. It was a very pleasant and welcoming place, we would
make cakes for one another’s birthdays, I’d been to places like the
Viking which was horrid and this was very laid back and you got to meet
all kinds of very different women there”.
