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.
