Jo Somerset: 'Morley Clarke' - H. Morley Clarke (1915-2007) was a tailor in Leicester 1930s-1970s. By day he made men’s suits, by night he made ball gowns for his ‘homosexual’ friends. His partner, Roland Spence, had a bookshop a few doors away from Morley’s shop. As Morley lived with his mother, they couldn’t live together until she died. A local history story, about hidden lives and very private resistance.
