The History of The Village as Manchester's Gay District

Manchester's Gay Village developed along Canal Street from the 1980s, taking advantage of the affordable post-industrial warehouses and the canal-side location. The Village became internationally known when Russell T Davies set Queer as Folk there in 1999 - the Channel 4 series that brought realistic, unapologetic representations of gay male life to mainstream UK television for the first time. Manchester Orgullo in August is the largest Orgullo event in the UK outside London. Sackville Gardens contains a statue of Alan Turing, the mathematician who was persecuted for his homosexuality and posthumously pardoned in 2013.
