Description
“The Morris lorry loaded up with timber cut on our own saw & going off to build the out school at Ndabari’s. A photo of Ndabari’s is seen on another page.” Portrait of Mr Cobb sitting behind the wheel of a Morris lorry which is loaded with timber. Mr G.C. Cobb was a freelance artisan who was employed by the mission to run the workshops and provide training to the local young men. He worked at Chogoria from 1924 to 1928 before leaving to join the Church Mission Society [CMS]. ❧ This image is from the first years of the Chogoria mission in Kenya, which was run by the Rev. Dr Archibald Clive Irvine (1893-1974), from the collection entitled ‘Chogoria, 1922. The early days.”
