The expl orati on ofnew queer space draw back some queer hi stori c textures from research si tes,Vauxhal lRoyalTavern and The Pl easure Gardens.Al though i tresul ted i n contextual l y encourages a queer soci ocul ture formed i n the pastbased on the tensi on between the propri etors’ambi ti ous and patrons’ desi res.Research on the queer hi story ofVauxhal lexposes much materi alhas been l ostor destroyed,thi si s a hi story punctuated.From ol d Vauxhal lto now,queer experi ence i s sti l l di verse and there are some perspecti ves for whi ch we have found l i ttl e survi vi ng materi al s.Hence,thi sl ed the archi tecture conversati on thatwi l lencourage more materi al , more stori es and more l i ves to be di scovered.
