Windrush to Lewisham: Memoirs of Uncle George gives a unique account of black experience following the heady days of travel by ship to the Motherland in the summer of 1948. W. George Brown, one of a small number of skilled Jamaicans to find accommodation in the Borough of Lewisham describes the moving circumstances which served to transform him from a bricklayer to a West Indian community leader of the 1950s and 1960s.
