Transcription
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 three men (and a fourth cut of frame except for their leg) sat in a room. One of them is wearing a brighter shirt and is sat away from the others in the middle of the room, while the other two are sat on chairs at the wall. A poster board reading 'Height Can Hurt!', a monitor and the rooms fire exit can be seen in the background.
