‘An old Carnation box has been used by the traveller in place of a suitcase. I moved outside the barrier to shoot. She doesn’t quite know what to make of me. She has a rather furtive look.’
The last of the Windrush arrivals in 1962 – in pictures
In 1962, the young photographer Howard Grey captured the last of the Windrush immigrants as they disembarked from the boat train at Waterloo station in London.
The extraordinary pictures he took, however, were not processed for more than five decades until advances in scanning technology brought the underexposed negatives to life.

‘The people, some still on the train, didn’t seem to know what to do, until they were gathered up by others.
I positioned myself and it was one shot; I saw that and bang, went for it.’

‘The man in the foreground is the register and was giving some kind of official instructions to the young West Indian.
He has a curious “you talking to me?” expression. There is a level of misunderstanding thats wilful or naive.’

He’s very youthful.
But we’re drawn to her even more than to the central figure. It complicates the story.
They are so formal and they would have expected British people to be so, too. I imagine they’d have been startled to see the untidy, dirty-nailed porters.’

After Windrush – Paulette Wilson's visit to Jamaica, 50 years on G 7 October 2019
After Windrush – Paulette Wilson's visit to Jamaica, 50 years on Video The Guardian 7 October 2019
A letter from the British government classifying Paulette Wilson as an illegal immigrant shook her sense of identity and belonging.
‘Hostile environment’ policies years in the making meant that Wilson and other victims of the Windrush scandal had their right to residency in the UK called into question.
She had been detained for a week pending imminent deportation though she had done nothing wrong.
It was devastating, but luckily she was released before she was deported.
Here we follow Wilson as she returns to Jamaica for the first time in 50 years, trying to make sense of her place in the world and rebuild a sense of security and belonging
