Object history
Proposed changes to local NHS provision during the 1980s created community opposition and active campaigning. The campaigners in this image are holding placards showing the wide scale impact of the proposed hospital closures. They were possibly standing outside St Leonard's Hospital, Hoxton, a key place in the wider campaign against the proposed health reforms.
