The following items were donated to the archive by Dave Dale in 2022. The collection of 9 photos, taken by Dave Dale, depict a variety of marchers, musicians, artists and creatives walking along East Street in 1994. They were submitted via the Queer Heritage South website, with the following comment attached to each individual photo: "In 1994, the Pride march came along East Street, heading south. I owned a couple of bookshops in East Street ('Read All About It', at Nos 69 and 10), and we were about to move them into one bigger unit at No. 68. As the procession passed the shops, I took a few photos, as I had my camera with me, taking photos of the new shop's fitting-out. It was a wonderful day, with colour, laughter, noise and celebration filling the air. A day I've never forgotten." Context: Though originally described as a Pride march, these images are likely to depict the Children's Parade. The parade theme in 1994 was "Ship of Fools" If you recognise the parade and have any further details, please get in contact with us.

Pride float 2023. To commemorate the 50 years since the very first Brighton Pride, Alf Le Flohic and I recreated some placards we had seen the Sussex GLF carrying on some of their protest marches. Gomorrah is Hot was a bit of poetic licence to go with the one about Sodomy being cool, which is a slogan seen in one of the old photos. Also on the float was my friend Danny and several fellow community curators from the Queer the Pier Exhibition at Brighton Museum.

In 2015 I watched Pride from a top floor flat on the seafront. That year the parade was delayed due to a potential bomb scare (which turned out to be a pin hole camera apparently?) The parade of course was not cancelled or postponed, but went ahead on a slightly edited route- a metaphor perhaps for the resilience and adaptability of the LGBTQIA+ community.

The flyer contains information about meetings, support services and social events organised by The Clare Project, a transgender support and social group, and documents the development of the organisation from 2000 to 2018.

The Hankie Quilt In 2012, Peter Moxom and Maurice McHale Parry revised the idea of the Name Project and reinvented it as the Hankie Quilt Project. Moxom and McHale put a call out for people to sew a name on to a hankie which was then sewn on to a larger panel by Robin Thompson. The project became part of that year’s Brighton & Hove Pride march and was displayed at the Brighton Dome and the Jubilee Library. Andrea Philippe Regard’s hankie is the green one with a representation of white arum lilies.
