How to do History

Tours and tales, sometimes with a beverage in hand. History for those who see enjoyment and importance in the past. Run by Mr Cemetery Club (Sheldon K. Goodman) and Dr Battlefield Birding (Andy Lock).
Today, on its 26th anniversary, there will be an act of remembrance starting at the Admiral Duncan at 5pm and ending at St. Anne’s Gardens at 6:20pm. We remember those injured in 1999 and continue to fight for equality and being able to live our own lives with happiness and respect. #LGBTQhistory

The Admiral Duncan bombing was part of a wider, targeted attack by neo-Nazi John Copeland, who had also targetted Electric Avenue in Brixton and Brick Lane in the East End between the 17th-30th April. An unattended bag containing a nail bomb detonated in the bar area, injuring 79 people.

This is the terrifying way they used to go up it in the 70s. Almost impossible to believe the lack of H&S in those days…
