The Life of Mary Seacole part 2 (of 3) | The Victorians | BBC Teach

Mary has built the ‘British Hotel’, which is closer to the battlefield than Florence Nightingale’s hospital.

She describes how she treated the wounded soldiers, becoming affectionately known as 'Mother Seacole'. Later she is visited by William Howard Russell, a journalist from The Times newspaper, who wishes to write an article about her.

After the British reclaim a key city from the Russians, Mary attends a celebratory march.
