Ten years after the Second World War, England was broken and labour shortages threatened its recovery. The UK government reached out to the West Indies. Thousands of men, women and children arrived during the 1950s. They were known as the 'Windrush' generation.

​

A chance meeting in Derbyshire changed the lives of Vincent and Agatha. They married and built a life that was a far cry from their native country of Jamaica. With better job opportunities in Bristol, they moved to the inner city and raised six children. Cutie is their youngest child.
