Abstract
This article will unpick the notion of regional difference in both its tangible and intangible forms and outline the corresponding impact on how sexual cultures developed and were experienced in twentieth-century Britain. It focuses on four high profile trials for homosexual offences during 1954. Examination of four trials in Yorkshire, the West Midlands and London reveals the variety of sexual cultures being experienced concurrently in different regional contexts. The article thus reveals the importance of regional identities and notions of place in producing distinct forms of behavior beyond the traditional boundaries of working-class historiography.
