Remembering the Junction
Queer Places
We explored memories of city centre pub The Junction.
Queer Places, a creative platform that celebrates LGBTQ+ spaces past and present, hosted a workshop that explored memories of the city centre pub The Junction.
Attendees were invited to share stories, photographs, and memories to help map the physical layout and design of The Junction and honour its impact on our community.

About the Back in the Pink Weekender
Back in the Pink, was Bradford 2025’s series dedicated to the rich and radical history of LGBTQ+ life in the city, whcih included a weekend-long celebration of gay life – past, present and future.
We travelled back in time to explore the activism, community and culture of Bradford’s LGBTQ+ communities in the late 20th century. We connected with today’s LGBTQ+ communities through workshops, discussions and a Saturday-night party. Together, we considered how we can preserve our own communities’ histories for generations to come.
