| Abstract or Description: | This exhibition, displayed in Lewisham Shopping Centre, created and displayed 341 individual landing cards representing a sample of passengers who arrived on the MV Empire Windrush at Tilbury docks on 22 June 1948. The sample focussed on the 341 passengers who, upon arrival, gave a London location as their forwarding address. Based on a new transcription of the Windrush passenger list held at The National Archives, the landing cards reflect a single pivotal moment in the life of each passenger; a snapshot of hope, opportunity and uncertainty. The exhibition also included maps showing the onward destinations of the passengers. |
