Terence Davies
Davies lived in Mistley, Essex. In a 2022 interview, he said that he preferred to live alone and was single for much of his life, except for a heterosexual relationship in the late 1970s, "[when] there was still this attitude of: 'Well, find the right person and you'll be happy'"; he was subsequently uninterested in relationships with men, saying "I did go on to the gay scene for a couple of months and I thought, it's just not for me".
