Replica 1960s Black Country infants' centre celebrates Windrush and NHS
Museum's re-creation of Wolverhampton institution marks 75 years of national health service and Windrush generation.
From the exact shade of the orange juice to the colour of the lino, every last detail of a new 1960s replica of a Wolverhampton infant centre has been researched thoroughly by staff at the Black Country Living Museum (BCLM).
The Lea Road Infant Welfare Centre, open to the public from Monday, will commemorate 75 years of the NHS and the 75th anniversary of the Empire Windrush arriving in the UK, through stories and characters from the period.
"Particularly in the 60s, there was a real labour shortage and it was people from the Caribbean and the Windrush generations that came over and brought their skills and have looked after us for generations," said Carol King, the director of programmes at BCLM. "So we felt it was really important to highlight that contribution."
Visitors to the infant centre will be able to take part in 1960s-style mothercraft lessons, get parenting advice from midwives and health visitors, and learn about what it was like to work in the NHS in that period.
The opening of the Black Country Living Museum’s newest development - the Infant Welfare Centre that will catapult visitors back to to the swinging 60’s.
The building itself is a replica of Lea Road Infant Welfare Centre - a real building in Wolverhampton that is still used today. Visitors will be able to explore the main hall, dispensary and doctor’s office to experience the sights and sounds of the growing National Health Service. 75 babies born in 2023 have been invited to the opening.
Pictured are the 75 parents and babies who have been invited to the opening of the replica building with staff in costume.
Pictured are products for treatment that were used.

Wildcats released in Scottish Highlands in effort to prevent extinction in UK
Nineteen captive-bred cats released at secret location in Cairngorms in first phase of rewilding project.
Nearly 20 young wildcats have been released into the wild in a pine forest in the Scottish Highlands, in the first phase of a project to rescue the species from extinction in the UK.
The cats were reared at a wildlife park operated by the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) as part of a breeding programme that will eventually lead to about 60 wildcats being released in the Cairngorm mountains south of Inverness.
The project, the first time a predatory mammal has been deliberately reintroduced in the UK, was set up after the cats’ numbers plummeted as a result of significant losses of native woodland, human persecution and interbreeding with domestic cats.
In 2019, a landmark report by the International Union for Conservation of Nature said the Scottish wildcat population was close to being functionally extinct because of a loss of genetic integrity and population decline. Its wild population, estimated then to be about 30 animals, was found to be "no longer viable".

The cats are on show in the park, and also bred in captivity at the park for release into the Cairngorms National Park.

Nineteen captive-bred cats released at secret location in Cairngorms in first phase of rewilding project.
Nearly 20 young wildcats have been released into the wild in a pine forest in the Scottish Highlands, in the first phase of a project to rescue the species from extinction in the UK.
The cats were reared at a wildlife park operated by the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) as part of a breeding programme that will eventually lead to about 60 wildcats being released in the Cairngorm mountains south of Inverness.
The project, the first time a predatory mammal has been deliberately reintroduced in the UK, was set up after the cats’ numbers plummeted as a result of significant losses of native woodland, human persecution and interbreeding with domestic cats.
In 2019, a landmark report by the International Union for Conservation of Nature said the Scottish wildcat population was close to being functionally extinct because of a loss of genetic integrity and population decline. Its wild population, estimated then to be about 30 animals, was found to be "no longer viable".

Nearly 20 young wildcats have been released into the wild in a pine forest in the Scottish Highlands, in the first phase of a project to rescue the species from extinction in the UK.
The cats were reared at a wildlife park operated by the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) as part of a breeding programme that will eventually lead to about 60 wildcats being released in the Cairngorm mountains south of Inverness.
The project, the first time a predatory mammal has been deliberately reintroduced in the UK, was set up after the cats’ numbers plummeted as a result of significant losses of native woodland, human persecution and interbreeding with domestic cats.
In 2019, a landmark report by the International Union for Conservation of Nature said the Scottish wildcat population was close to being functionally extinct because of a loss of genetic integrity and population decline. Its wild population, estimated then to be about 30 animals, was found to be "no longer viable".

The cats are on show in the park, and also bred in captivity at the park for release into the Cairngorms National Park.

Trapped as fire raged: deadly perils in Mexico for migrants escaping climate catastrophe.
Higinio Alberto Ramírez nearly died in a devastating fire at a migrant center in Mexico after rising seas forced him from Honduras - but the climate crisis is not recognised as grounds for asylum.

Cedeño village, Marcovia municipality, Choluteca department, Honduras. September 30, 2023.
On February 14, 2023, Higinio Alberto Ramírez Torres, 28 years old, from the town of Cedeño, municipality of Marcovia, in the department of Choluteca, Honduras, began his journey with the aim of reaching the United States, leaving behind Yessica Yessenia García Galindo, 24 years old, his wife, and Yessica Daniela Ramírez García, her 3-year-old daughter. He decided to migrate because he lost his job at a shrimp farm whose facilities were damaged by rising sea levels. A large part of the Cedeño territory was destroyed by the sea: the inhabitants lost their homes and the local economy suffered serious problems because jobs related to tourism, fishing and shrimp farms fell. During his trip, Higinio Alberto was detained by Mexican authorities and imprisoned inside the Immigration Center in Juárez. On March 27, 2023, a fire broke out inside that facility where 40 migrants died. Higinio Alberto was one of the few survivors but he suffered serious injuries and now he is still in Mexico recovering from the accident where during this time he was accompanied by his mother and his wife. His father, Higinio Ramírez Ortega, 54, who also worked in the same shrimp farm, thought about migrating but now, along with his extended family, she faces financial problems and his debts increase with the risk of losing his home.

Covid hunters: the amateur sleuths tracking the virus and its variants. Ryan Hisner
How a schoolteacher and a dog educator became crucial to the global fight against coronavirus.
At the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, countries would receive daily updates collated from data that had been analysed by the world-leading virologists and academics.
But three years later, the pandemic's trajectory is becoming more difficult to predict - and decision-makers are increasingly reliant on the warnings of a diverse bunch of independent researchers.
Ryan Hisner, a teacher from Indiana, US, was listed alongside various academic co-authors on a paper in Nature, describing how the antiviral drug molnupiravir used to treat patients with Covid-19 may be fuelling the evolution of new variants by creating a specific set of mutations.
