THE PROUD PLACE’S LGBT+ HISTORY
The Proud Place has played an important part in Manchester’s LGBT+ History. Did you know that the original 1988 building was Europe’s first purpose built ‘Gay Centre’? Alongside lots of LGBT+ books, our library features archive and heritage material spanning more than three decades including photos, maps and newspaper clippings.
Our building has a fascinating place in Manchester’s LGBT+ History. Find out more about our story here.
