The New Penny. This late Victorian public house was formerly known as the Hope and Anchor. Since 1953 it has provided a safe venue for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans* community both before and following the decriminalisation of homosexuality in 1967. Renamed The New Penny in 1975, it is one of

the longest continually running LGB&T* venues in the UK.
