CameoLounge

NilsClausson writes: The Cameo Lounge on Spring Garden Road was another straight bar frequented by gays; it tried to "cleanse" itself of undesirable gays, whom they feared were driving away straight customers. I remember John Marr and I and another gay man (forgotten his name now) being refused service in the Cameo on the grounds that the young man was "under age." John tells me that the restaurant was called the Cameo Dining Room and that the lounge attached to it was called the Candlelight, and that is consistent with my memory as well.

What is where the Camero Lounge once sat? Is it Spring Garden Place?
