Black and white photograph of the town clock at Uzuakoli, in south-eastern Nigeria. The town clock was started at 12pm on 8th August 1934. Students of the Uzuakoli Institute (a training school started by the Church Missionary Society in 1932) stand to attention in front of the clock. Two instructors from the Uzuakoli Institute, Reverend H.L.O William and Mr Murdock, can be seen in front of the students. The caption to this photograph reads: "Another view of same. Students assembled. Rev. H.L.O William & Mr Murdock in foreground." This photograph was pasted into one of a series of exercise book albums created by Emily Godfrey, Matron of the Ama Achara Methodist Hospital, a medical facility in modern Abia state, southeast Nigeria, run by the Methodist Missionary Society.
