Description
“A bit of the Nyeri road.” Landscape view of rolling hills through which a road runs. The Tumutumu mission was founded in 1909 as a Trans Tana mission when the Church of Scotland expanded work from the Kikuyu mission to take in the northern Gikuyu in the Nyeri district. The mission lies East of Nyeri at Karatina on the Western slopes of Mount Kenya. ❧ This image is from an album chronicling the time that Dr Archibald Clive Irvine (1893-1974) spent at Tumutumu (1919-1921) and some of the early years at Chogoria.
