But for many, those streets of twitching curtains and pebble-dashed semis were – or still are – a place to call home.From Addlestone to Wilmslow, Tales of the Suburbs explores the relatively untold twentieth-century tale of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer people in suburbia. Through remarkable archive material and original interviews, social historian John Grindrod reveals stories that are messy and moving, dark and funny, uplifting and extraordinary.John Grindrod is a social historian of modern places. He’s the author of Iconicon: A Journey Around the Landmark Buildings of Contemporary Britain (2022), Outskirts: Living Life on the Edge of the Green Belt (shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize, 2017) and Concretopia: A Journey Around the Rebuilding of Postwar Britain (2013). He hosts the podcast Monstrosities Mon Amour, about loving the places other people hate.Please note: the Book and Ticket option includes a copy of Tales of the Suburbs (RRP £18.99) available for collection at the event.
