Peak through the windows of 36 Bolton Street and discover half a century of LGBTQ+ history. This modest building has been a lifeline and a haven for generations — once home to Friend Mersey, a vital helpline established in 1976 to support LGBTQ+ people during times of stigma and silence, and now the base for GYRO, the UK’s longest-running LGBTQ+ youth group.
In this special anniversary year, artist Luke Fawcett transforms the façade into a living artwork — a sculptural collage of memories, hopes, and dreams co-created with the people who have found connection and belonging here. The installation celebrates not just the building, but the spirit of resilience, love, and togetherness that continues to thrive within its walls.
If These Walls Could Talk: Luke Fawcett, GYRO. Produced for the Queer Places Heritage Trail as part of Homotopia Festival 2025, by Alessia Naccari.
