067: Windrush - The 75th Anniversary - Essex By The Sea

  • Summary

  • On June 22nd 1948, passengers aboard the HMT Empire Windrush began disembarking in Tilbury.

    Most were from Caribbean countries seeking a new life here in the UK.

    2023 marked the 75th anniversary of that voyage and the arrival of who have become known as the Windrush Generation.

    The Port of Tilbury marked the anniversary with a special commuinty day at the old railway terminal where Owen spoke to Lucy Harris from Forth Ports.
