A book which tells the stories of the Windrush generation who came to live in Lancashire has been launched in Preston
The book features 11 narratives about the lives of women and men from the Windrush generation who came to Lancashire in the 1950s and 60s.
They tell of suffering and overcoming adversity and prejudice, as well as community self- organisation over the decades and how sport, religion, and workplace environments forged lasting friendships. The book also includes a foreword by PBHG chair Clinton Smith, who originated the project with Alan in 2020 and then worked with Jack during the interviews.
Transcriptions of the interview recordings were produced by UCLan research associate Jenny Webster, and abridged by Jack in consultation with each interviewee to create their narratives.
