Young Historians Project presents A Hidden History:
Between 2018-2021, the Young Historians Project (YHP) engaged in a pioneering research project to recover the hidden history of African women who worked in Britain's healthcare sector during the 20th century. Recruitment for the health service from the colonies of the British Empire began in the period after the Second World War. However, nurses, doctors and other medical professionals from Africa trained in Britain before this, as higher education was generally not available in the colonies.
Despite their long history of work within the health service in Britain, the role of African women is rarely highlighted in discussions of the history of the NHS or of health work more generally. This project has covered new ground and expanded the understanding of this history.
During this project, YHP undertook extensive research on the history of African women in Britain, and conducted oral history interviews with 35 women who worked within Britain's healthcare sector during the 20th century. We have designed accessible learning outputs to ensure others can learn about this important history, including a docuseries, online research hub, e-book, podcast series, as well as this commemorative mural. This project was funded by the Heritage Fund, and undertaken in partnership with Ghana Nurses Association, Nigerian Nurses Charitable Association and the Black Cultural Archives. To access our project's learning outputs, visit: younghistoriansproject.org/research-hub
About the Young Historians Project YHP is a non-profit organisation formed by young people of African and Caribbean descent, working to encourage other young people to engage with Black British
history. YHP works on dynamic projects, documenting pivotal and often overlooked historical moments. We hope that through this and future projects more young
people of African and Caribbean heritage will rediscover history and develop the skills to become the historians of the future. For more

Princess Tsehai Selassie
Princess Tsehai, the fourth child of Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in 1919. From 1935, Italy - ruled at the time by Mussolini's fascist regime-launched an invasion of Ethiopia, and the Royal Family fled to Bath, England and ruled in exile at Fairfield House. At just 15, Princess Tsehai gave an impassioned plea to the League of Nations on behalf of her besieged home nation. This garnered her international fame. Tsehai continued to speak on peace and use her status positively. She gave a speech for the Women's Peace Crusade, and was the only woman to speak at the Conference on African Peoples, Democracy and World Peace in 1939, held in London. As a sponsor in the creation of the Ethiopian Women's Welfare Work Association (EWWWA), she worked to ensure the expansion and provision of health and welfare to Ethiopian people. During the family's exile, Princess Tsehai pursued her passion for healthcare and acquired training to bring back to Ethiopia in hope it would benefit her people. She completed her training at Great Ormond Street Hospital, and later Guy's Hospital, becoming a state registered children's nurse. Once the Royal Family were able to return. to Ethiopia in 1941, she married Lieutenant-General (later Brigadier-General) Lij Abiye Abebe, and moved with him to Welega Province when he was appointed governor there. Tragically, the Princess died following complications during childbirth in 1942. Emperor Haile Selassie founded the Princess Tsehai Memorial Hospital in her memory, which also served as a nursing school until the Ethiopian Revolution in 1974.
Bijou Bidwell a.k.a. 'Aunty Bijou' Bijou Bidwell was born on the 29th of March 1927 in Freetown. Growing up, she was taught at St.
High School, where she became school spokesperson. Then known as Bijou Peters, she studied at Brice a career in nursing, soon Anglican Primary School and later Methodist Girls known, would prove a dering a State Registered Nurse (SRN) and later a State Certified Midwife (SCM) from 1947. 'Aunty Bijou as she soon became ol Royal Infirmary and Kings College Hospital to pursue I and talented nurse, rising to the level of Nursing Sister at the Royal Victoria Hospital (today the Edward Francis Small Teaching Hospital) in 1955, before marrying Dr Ernest Bidwell in 1956. The Bidwells had two daughters, Oremie and Alaphia. Aside from nursing, Aunty Bijou had a love of gardening and her c and was an avid writer. She wrote for a range of Gambian newspapers such as Daily Observer, where she used her voice to speak for the voiceless, particularly on issues of gendered violence and Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). Even as she grew older, her passion for fighting injustice and standing up for the marginalised did not waver. Her legacy lives on through the foundations she laid for future activists who work to end practices such as FGM to this day
Hannah Jawara (nee Mahoney) Hannah Jawara (nee Mahoney) was born in Gambia in 1924. She was the daughter of Sir John Mahoney, the first speaker of the Gambian Legislative
Council. From 1942 to 1946 she worked as a nursing assistant at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Banjul, Gambia. The following year, she travelled to England to study nursing at the Bristol Royal Infirmary qualifying as a State Registered Nurse (SRN) in 1950. Upon her return, she was appointed superintendent of the Basse Health Centre. In 1955 she married Gambia's future prime r Dawda Jawara. But Hannah had her own political ambitions and in 1960, she became the first woman to stand for election to the House of Representatives, where she placed third. Hannah was also an activist for women's rights. She co-founded the Gambia Women's Federation which promoted education for girls. After separating from her husband, she turned to literature, publishing the feminist play 'Rebellion' under the pseudonym Ramatoulie Kinteh. Her works focused on Gambian women and culture. She died in London in 1981.

100/365 Wednesday 10 April 2013 - Despite his bad back he got down. He had a bath on arrival and then it was bed. Not before he'd given me some presents including some wind proof gloves. He said they'll keep my hands warm in bitter winds and he can still use his camera whilst wearing his.
We had a trip to Prague in January – for Jayne’s birthday - we don’t buy Christmas or birthday presents, we travel instead. We left snowy England for a very, very dull and grey Czech Republic. Yet again I was on a photographic downer looking at the weather forecast, grey is the colour that haunts me. Fortunately it was dull grey and not burnt highlight inducing bright grey.With the grey sky acting like a big diffuser I was going to have deep shadow and contrast to deal with. We had three very short spells of broken cloud which gave us a bit of sun and colour, which I managed to more or less anticipate so we managed to be in decent locations every time – generally somewhere high.
We had been upgraded to a five star hotel, apparently our original choice was flooded. We got compensation and five star hotel upgrade– a first for me. The Art Nouveau Palace has a beautiful interior, with beautiful rooms, the breakfast room was fantastic, as was the breakfast it has to be said. We were able to have an early breakfast so were out on foot just after eight. It was very cold – and dull! We spent the whole week well wrapped up. It drizzled for a day, but never really wet us, it snowed for a day, again we didn’t get wet and the snow didn’t settle. We walked 65 mile, spending plenty of time checking buildings and their interiors out – and coffee shop and bar interiors it has to be said. Although it was dull and sometimes wet I decided that the Camera was staying in my hands for the whole trip. Whenever I put it in my backpack for one reason or another I regret it.
Again, I didn’t look at any photographs of Prague before we got there, I like to just walk and discover, with the DK guidebook in my pocket (which is full of photos it has to be said). We like to get off the beaten track and see the grittier side of the places we visit – within reason! Prague has an incredible tram network, over 1000 trams – with many of them Tatra Eastern Bloc machines. The system seems chaotic but in reality it is incredible with one of the largest networks and highest usages in the world. The trams and cars frequently share the same road space with very little in the way of drama, none of the inexplicable and pathetic constant horn blowing one finds in many countries. Once it became apparent that buildings with a grey blanket as a background were going to be a bit un-inspirational I decided that the trams would be a good focal point instead. Where I have photographed one of the older trams against a background without clues it is easy to imagine that the photos were taken fifty years ago.
The train network also provided photo opportunities. The rolling stock ranges from old Eastern Bloc to very modern double decker’s and pendolinos. There are three stations although we visited the main station and Smichov. The main station interior is art deco and has been renovated by a private company. The exterior and the platforms are very rundown with a grim eastern bloc 1950’s feel –but it works! We discovered to our amusement that we could just walk across multiple lines, no health and safety, just keep your eyes open and don’t walk under a train – you’ll make a mess. Smichov station was grim, it didn’t help that it snowed all day and was grey and bitter. We felt like we were in a 50’s film set in Russia, broken concrete platforms and dereliction. With both stations there was another world underneath them. The underground Metro is running seamlessly and efficiently away beneath your feet. I didn’t have any problems taking photos anywhere but I was very open and obviously a tourist, I didn’t act covertly or suspiciously. There was only one occasion I was stopped and that was in a shopping centre – full of CCTV cameras filming everyone else!
We discovered old and beautiful- and very large- shopping centres hidden away in quite a few places. Brass framed windows and doors, shops thriving, there was a massive camera shop with thousands of second hand cameras, too much to look at. Many of the landmark buildings prevent photography, some make a small charge, some encourage it, the DK guide book gives a good indication regarding camera use. Nothing stops many people though, they just shoot away regardless, usually wanting a picture that includes their self. Prague is surrounded by low hills and has a fair few towers that you can pay a few pounds to go up, so viewpoints are plentiful. I think we visited most of them. I read about the Zizkov Tower, which looks like a Soviet rocket on the horizon and we headed straight for it - after crossing the rail lines! Set in a quiet residential area, there wasn’t a soul about. Two beautiful girls on reception and we parted with a few pounds, into the lift and were on the observation deck with no one else up there. There are fantastic views over the city, but! It is through two layers of not very clean glass so you go for the view rather than sharp panoramas. Still a fascinating place, with a nice café bar and very clean toilets – there are toilets everywhere, usually manned with a fee. Places are well staffed compared with home were three students are supposed to run a 20 screen multiplex cinema.
Graffiti was prominent, no matter how grand the monument, some moron would have daubed it. How do they get away with it in a 24 hour city centre with a strong police presence? The place is very clean, constantly being swept. What did surprise me, was that many buildings, that looked grand and built of stone, from a distance, were actually rendered with very low quality brickwork concealed. When restored the building look very impressive, others are missing the outer render from ground level to a fair height.
I need to cut this short really, I like to put a background story to the photos and although it would be better to individualise it to a specific photo or group of photos I don’t have the time to do that. I do try to give specific detail in the title bar after I have uploaded, this is time consuming enough although I’m pretty proficient at it by now. There are many things I would like to write that should be of interest to anyone thinking of going to Prague but I’ll have to let the pictures do the talking. As usual I am unlikely to be selective enough with my uploads, I’m not very good at leaving photos out so I just upload and be damned.
I'm going to Australia in a couple of days (29th Nov) for 7 weeks and will miss Christmas at home with Dan and Sandi, we swapped gifts I opened mine they will open theirs on Christmas day..I love these very generous and thoughtful presents. Dan Sand and Richard treated us to a lovely meal in the evening, it might not have been Christmas day but it was a very special day.
Also known as Matthew 36, Bus 0.
Eclectic array of presents? Yes.
Scrubs needs little reason put forth: damn. funny.
Two discs of Samurai Champloo music? Hells yeah. I highly recommend the show on DVD as well as the music. It's mostly electonica with some rap thrown in, but it's good realxed-funk mood music.
Guadalcanal Diary... I used to own this album, but somewhere (moving so many times over the last 10 years) it went missing. It's good to have it back in the collection. I've had Watusi Rodeo in iTunes for a while, but the whole album is good.
Strange Brew. I mean, c'mon! Two hose heads meet Hamlet?! How can that not be good?
I also want to note the "why" of Digimon. Sagan's been watching Pokemon of late. I think Pokemon sucks major ass. It's horrible animation, horrible story lines, and passable voice acting. There's little redeeming value in it at all.
On the other hand, Digimon is decent animation, good story lines, and good voice acting. And to top it off it's more about building relationships and finding out "who you are" than throwing a ball and telling a one-word wonder to "win" the battle. I plan on picking up Digimon the Series on DVD so Sagan can be exposed to Pokemon-like excitement of silliness and battle, but also be exposed to the touching stories and character-building themes.

Christmas presents from my parents, my wife and my sister and brother in law, Agostinho.
They all now what I like.
For the challenge to photograph whatever's in your Christmas stocking or presents. As you can see, it was mostly books for me this year! I particularly like the post-modern take on the 'Ladybird' books that I remember as a child. To quote from the first page of the 'How it works' guide to The Husband: "This is a husband. He may look complicated, but he is in fact very simple. He runs on sausages and beer." Guilty as charged :-)
Happy Christmas everyone!

After a long night that just didn’t want to end I could finally hop out of bed. It was Christmas. I was so excited and wanted to know if Santa had brought us some presents. So I looked outside for some traces of his sledge and what I saw made me a very happy little sheep. There was snow outside!
Not really that much snow but it was definitely snow, a white Christmas yay.
Pip and I ran as fast as we could to the presents, making a little detour to Duckham Asylum, to collect the Count. It was Christmas after all and we thought that he should be included in the festivities.
Everybody got a present and after my Uncle gave the command we started unwrapping :-)
Unwrapping presents is the most fun activity in the world :-)
I got a whole jar of yummy strawberry jam all to myself yay, I couldn’t wait to eat my first breakfast with it. Little Pip got a huge bone that tasted of muffins, he was so happy that he ran in circles shouting Pip pip for half an hour, and the Count got a piece of the Milky Way which he, as a scientist, approved, he even looked happy for a second before he noticed and said “Bah, Humbug” and trotted off to examine the milky way, we all knew he didn’t mean it and was as happy as an evil duck can be :-)
But I think the happiest was my Uncle who, from my wonderful mommie, got the most beautiful chessboard in the world with exactly the chess pieces he always wanted to have.
Christmas is wonderful and we all hope that all of you got some wonderful presents as well.
Merry Christmas!
PRECIOSA ORNELA presents the new PRECIOSA Pip™ pressed bead from the PRECIOSA Traditional Czech Beads brand.
The bead’s dimensions of 5 x 7 mm comply with the current trend for mini beads. The axially symmetric flattened shape of the small core enables the realisation of half metal coating on both sides of the bead with the resulting effect of an overall decoration. The strung beads fit together tightly and create an interlocking zip effect. Six beads connected in a circle can easily be used to create an application in the shape of a flat flower which is a suitable accessory for seed bead embroidery. Thanks to its small protrusion, this bead is an excellent accessory to the two-hole PRECIOSA Twin™ beads and seed beads, like PRECIOSA Solo™.
