The Inge Street Taxi Rank
1991
A typical night out for James would have involved a drink in The Jester, then onto The Windmill (now Partners) and finally onto The Gale. There was nowhere else to go afterwards so they would run the gauntlet getting a taxi to escort them safely out of the city centre. The taxi rank, where the back-to-back houses are now, was where most people went to get a cab after the Nightingale. There were lots of gay people there but it could still be quite intimidating with the straight people there. (c1991)
