Even now, my rational, well-balanced sister, who went on to do a postgraduate degree at LSE and work as a medical social worker before she got married and had three children, prefers to keep that period of her life under wraps.
For years, my mentor at Moorfields was Janet Silver, the head of optometry whom I first met in the Low Visual Aids Unit.

 Homosexuality in Eighteenth-Century England: The Trial of William Brown, 1726
In 1726 William Brown was found guilty of the misdemeanour of an attempt to commit sodomy, and sentenced to stand in the pillory in Moorfields, London, to pay a fine of 10 marks, and to go to prison for two months.
The case is interesting for revealing a man who, though perhaps not "gay and proud" in the modern sense, nevertheless declared to the authorities that he was not ashamed of his behaviour and that he felt that how he used his body was his own business — a strikingly modern conception.
By the early eighteenth century, a path in the Upper- Moorfields, by the side of the Wall that separated the Upper- field from the Middle-field, acquired the name "The Sodomites' Walk".
