Phil Lester looks at The AKT, or Albert Kennedy Trust, which celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2019 – how did it come to start in Manchester and who was Albert?

By the 90s the LGBT+ party scene in Manchester was famous enough to be known as Gaychester – but why did Manchester become known for its queer community?

Each episode of In This Place: Gaychester looks at a different aspect of the city’s queer history.

Presenter: Phil Lester
Producers: Robert Beck, Jo Dheal and Jo Newsholme
Editors: Nicky Edwards and Sam Turner
