The Crowbar was originally the fortnightly newsletter of Brixton Squatters Aid:

"initially a freesheet duplicated on waste paper, which became a rowdy class war type magazine that loved to wind up the police, council, lefties and pretty much everyone except the collective."

- Past Tense Publications.

At least 49 issues were published from 1983 to 1989(?). (If you know more - add a comment below).

There's an old tweet from 56a Infoshop saying 1983 was when it started.
