The Windrush Generation

The arrival of the SS Empire Windrush in June 1948 at Tilbury Dock, Essex, in England, marked the beginning of post-war mass migration.

The ship had made an 8,000 mile journey from the Caribbean to London with 492 passengers on board from Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago and other islands.

Most of the passengers were ex-servicemen seeking work.

This marked the beginning of post-war mass migration. cont./
