Their Long VoyageHome

on BBC Radio 2

Fifty years ago, the merchant ship Windrush made the journey from the Caribbean to Tilbury with 500 people on board, some returning to settle in Britain, others making the voyage to the mother country for the first time. Trevor McDonald presents the second of five programmes telling their stories from their arrival to the search for work and accommodation, with personal recollections, archive material and music.
