Hospital staff with Dr Henshaw, Nigeria, 1933

Black and white photograph of a group of Nigerian staff at the Ama Achara Hospital run by the Methodist Missionary Society, formerly known as the Primitive Methodist Missionary Society. Dr Henshaw was a government doctor, presumably from the British authorities who governed Nigeria until independence in 1960. Emily Godfrey is the European female missionary in the picture. This image comes from a photograph collection kept by Emily Godfrey, Matron of the Methodist Hospital at Ama Achara, southeast Nigeria, from 1921 to 1944.
