Workshop, Chogoria, Kenya, ca.1924

“The big pulley gearing down the clay mixer.” Interior view of the workshop illuminated at night and showing a large wheel and gearing. The workshop produced most of the necessary building materials, including bricks, and was powered by the hydro-electric generator run on the waterfall on the Kamara river. ❧ 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.”
