This is a photographic negative produced by photographer Ian Beesley. 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 DePuy who moved production to China.

This image shows 9 men (8 pictured fully in frame) in black DePuy uniforms all sat at around multiple circular tables, possibly for a meeting. Three pairs of goggles and two drinks rest on one while a man takes notes at another. The clock on the wall reads about 11:31 ish.
