Geolocation data
DePuy International Ltd., St Anthony's Rd, Beeston, Leeds LS11 8DT, United Kingdom (53°46′12″N, 1°34′11″W)
This is a photographic negative produced by photographer Ian Beesley. A label on the back of the folder in which they are stored reads 'De Puy, Thackray, Beeston, Leeds, 5th/12th August 2011', possibly referring to the DePuy Sythes R&D centre in Beeston.

This image depicts six cars parked outside DePuy in Beeston. A sign reads "Assembly Point B3", and one building is labelled "Manufacturing 1". Someone is walking along the walkway adjacent to the building on the right hand side of the frame. A cloudy sky can be seen above.

This was part of a project called 'Thackray Remembered' (Thackray 2011) which was commissioned by the Thackray Medical Museum to document the closure of a Thackray factory which manufactured hip and knee replacements. It was taken over by the American company who moved production to China.
