What's your connection to Windrush?

Vic Minett

Available for over a year

75 years ago the passengers of the HMT Empire Windrush ship disembarked at Tilbury Docks in Essex - it was a major moment in modern British history. The ship carried the first of thousands of Caribbean migrants encouraged to come to the UK to fill post-War labour shortages. Vic Minett speaks to some of the people who settled in Coventry.
