Show transcript
Caribbean immigrants were drawn to the UK by the promise of better pay and living conditions.
The Windrush arrivals were given some support by the British government, but they faced discrimination.
It could be hard to find housing and many could only find jobs at a lower level than they were qualified for.
The weather and appearance of Britain was also a shock to some of the Windrush immigrants.
Nevertheless, many stayed in Britain and their descendants live here to this day.
