Photocopied newspaper clipping about squatters occupying Eastbourne House on the corner of Wellington Parade and Simpson Street and the four houses next door in Simpson Street, all under the one ownership. It was the first occupation of private premises by the Squatters' Union since its formation in 1981. The Union was protesting at the injustice of converting homes into offices when rental housing was in short supply.
