- MIKE HEATH

1916-built Hudswell Clarke No. 1206 (previously Illingwort­h) was renamed Nightingal­e and Seacole (one nameplate per side) at Embsay on April 22. Mary Seacole and Florence Nightingal­e were two of the world’s most famous nurses, remembered for their work in the Crimean War. Trevor Sterling, chair of the Mary Seacole Trust is pictured unveiling Seacole, while Professor Greta Westwood of the Florence Nightingal­e Foundation unveiled Nightingal­e, and tribute was paid to the current generation of nurses, midwives, nursing associates and healthcare support workers.
