Description: | In 1960 Cyprus became an independent nation after years as a British colony, and a struggle between the Greek and Turkish populations began. Many people from both communities emigrated to London, settling particularly in Camden. In 1969 a visiting official from Cyprus informed the Mayor of Camden, Norman Oatway, that he was probably mayor over more Cypriots than any of the mayors on Cyprus. Oatway made an official visit to Cyprus where he was presented with a number of historical tokens, including this one from the Mayor of Paphos. This amphora is dated to 700-600BC, the 'Cypro-Archaic I' period. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Hampstead Museum | Rights holder: | Hampstead Museum | Subjects: | Migration and Citizenship | Source: | Burgh House and Hampstead Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
