Investigating what was happening in Britain between 1948 -62?
Between this time workers from colonies own by Britain where allowed to migrate into Britain without any restrictions. The largest group of those who migrated into Britain after worldwar 2 were West Indians/Jamaicans(British Windrush- about 60 years ago). Most had already been and worked in Britain as helpers during the war so it wasnt there first time being in here.
