The office, leper colony, Uzuakoli, Nigeria, ca. 1932

Black and white photograph showing the office at the leprosy run by the Primitive Methodist Missionary Society in Uzuakoli, Nigeria. The office is a brick building next to the colony main gate. White lines for a sports' court have been painted on the lawn behind the office, where a Nigerian worker flattens the grass with a large roller. The caption to this image reads: "The Office 'When evening twilight gathers round.'" This photograph was pasted into one of a series of exercise book albums created by Emily Godfrey, Matron of the Ama Achara Methodist Hospital run by the Primitive Methodist Missionary Society.
