This street art tribute is on a side road off my local High Street.
This mural is a portrait of Louvina Moses who came to Birmingham from St Kitts in the early sixties to work as an NHS nurse.
She was one of 22 women featured in a TV documentary celebrating migrant women who moved to the Midlands and helped to rebuild Britain’s depleted infrastructure after the war.
After 43 years working as a nurse her astonishing contribution to the country was recognised by the Queen and she was invited to Buckingham Palace to receive an MBE.
An amazing lady.
