Geolocation data
DePuy Synthes, 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 reads ' DePuy, Thackray. Beeston. Leeds. 5th/12th August 2011, possibly referring to the DePuy Sythes R&D centre in Beeston.

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.

This image depicts a man hanging up a clock on a white brick wall. He is framed by pipes connected to machines which are cut off by the frame. The time reads roughly 11:08. He is presumably wearing a DePuy uniform - it is the expected colour but the logo confirmation is on the front, which is not seeable.
