Yorkshire: A Trans History

Tuesday 6th February - Saturday 24th August 2024

The Collector's Cabinet, Leeds City Museum, Millenium Square,  Leeds, LS2 8BH

The Collector’s Cabinet will host a display case curated by GossipGrrrl looking at Yorkshire’s transgender history.

Featuring Bronze Age Hull, Roman Age Catterick & York, Edwardian Era Bradford, Wartime Wakefield and 70s Leeds - we can see trans people have been a part of Yorkshire longer than there has been a Yorkshire to be a part of!
