Who are they? 

'Nuclear Dawn' mural on the side of Carlton Mansions, Coldharbour Lane, Brixton. The anti-war mural was painted by Brian Barnes and Christine Thomas in 1981-82. It features an 'Uncle Sam' skeleton striding over nuclear-bombed London while the governing Conservative Party hides in a bunker. The artwork was funded by the Arts Council, Greater London Arts & the Gulbenkian Foundation. Photograph dated August 1985.
