Construction work, Nigeria, ca. 1921

Black and white photograph showing a group of Nigerian male workers undertaking landscape or construction work, possibly at the mission station at Ama Achara run by the Primitive Methodist Missionary Society, or at the Ama Achara mission hospital. Men carry containers on their heads, and some hold spades. From another photograph in the same collection, the Nigerian labourers are dismantling an old bush house in the Ama Achara hospital. This photograph was pasted into one of a series of exercise book albums created by Emily Godfrey, Matron of the Ama Achara Methodist Hospital.
