At the National Lottery Heritage Fund, we want to support an inclusive heritage sector. To celebrate LGBT History Month, Liz Ellis highlights some of the LGBT+ heritage projects we have been proud to support.

Yng Nghronfa Dreftadaeth y Loteri Genedlaethol, rydyn ni eisiau cefnogi sector treftadaeth gynhwysol. I ddathlu Mis Hanes LGBT, mae Liz Ellis yn tynnu sylw at rai o brosiectau treftadaeth LGBT+ yr ydym wedi bod yn falch o'u cefnogi.

From the unusual to the humorous, the heartfelt to the heart-wrenching, these examples demonstrate the wealth of stories held in archives around the UK. Hopefully they'll inspire you to get out and explore your own local archive! Egg-dispensing machine on Umberleigh railway station, 1972. Credit:
