- Another lockdown so, unfortunately, Shrewsbury's LGBT+ activities remain relatively quiet and arms length. But there are still some things to do to avoid the feeling of isolation...
- Some of you will remember Jonathan Cutbill who used to live in Shrewsbury. He had an enormous library of books and periodicals of LGBT interest that he'd collected over the decades, and when he died the University of London Senate House Library took the whole collection into their care. They have published a recent Zoom lecture about the significance of Jonathan's collection and you can watch it here.
