The Empire Windrush docked at Tilbury in 1948 bringing migrants from the Caribbean.

Their stories have formed a large piece of artwork on one of the original walkways where these citizens stepped foot on British soil for the first time.

Artist Evewright – a decendent himself of someone who travelled to Britian on the Windrush – has created the temporary artwork on the 432 panes of glass.

He joins Owen in conversation about his work, the insperation behind it and how the journeys made on the Windrush has shapped British history and culture to this day.

If you’ve got a story, Owen would like to hear from you! Email essexbytheseapodcast@gmail.com
