HAPPY WINDRUSH DAY On 22nd June 1948 the ship MV Empire Windrush docked in Tilbury bringing workers from Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago and other islands. They came in good spirits to help fill post-war UK labour shortages.The ship carried 492 passengers, many of them were children. Meet Franklin Roy Williams (Jamaican nick name = Jack) and Sylvia Williams his wife (Jamaican nick name = Cotty) @serlinaboyd grandparents. Franklin had a well paid job and worked for British Rail as a train examiner, his job was to ensure that trains were safe before they left London Bridge depot to pick up passengers. His wife Sylvia worked as a nurse and raised four children - three were sent from Jamaica after they settled in this country and Serlina’s mum the youngest of the four was born in the UK. Today we salute this beautiful generation that worked so hard and endured so much so that we can continue their legacy🤎
