Here are a couple of short films about Ethel Colman, the first lady Lord Mayor of Norwich and the first woman to become a Mayor of a city in Britain. When did she become Lord Mayor? And what women’s movement did she support? Of course she was a member of the Colman family that had built the mustard business in Norwich but she was always happy to give to those less fortunate than her. She was also famous for her philanthropy and Ethel and her sister Helen built the Stuart Court flats as living quarters for working people, but where are they? On the death of their brother Alan, what was Ethel’s and Helen’s memorial to their dead brother? To find out the answers to these questions and more related information please select the following links and press play (you may have to move the red bar back to the start of the film):
