WINDRUSH
How long did
it take to come on the Windrush?
It was most of May, I
boarded the Windrush in 1948. Some of the people on the boat felt
sick!
I remember seeing a man crying on the deck at about 6.15. because on
the 6.00 news he had seen that it was saying that people like him
couldn't land in England.
Was it a good
experience to go on the S.S Windrush?
It was a reasonable
experience. I wouldn't say nice. It was pleasant but very crowded.
The condition was not bad but I didn't like mash potato and we had
mash potato!
Did any
family come with you?
No, my mother and father
did not come. I came back in 1948.
What was
people's attitude to you when you came to England?
At first people were very
nice to me. People were very helpful, they needed people to come and
rebuild Britain. Overall I was treated reasonably.
