Description: | This leaflet was issued by the Lewisham branch of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (C.N.D.). The graphic on the cover shows a road sign prohibiting cruise missiles in Lewisham. Inside are printed details about the activities of Lewisham C.N.D. and an argument against cruise missiles being stored in southeast England.
C.N.D. was launched in 1958. Membership rose in the 1980s in response to a decision made in 1979 by the British government to deploy American cruise and Pershing missiles. Many local branches of C.N.D. campaigned against this policy by pressurising local councils to declare neighbourhoods 'nuclear free zones'. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | Environment Power and Politics | Temporal: | 1983-1985 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
