George A Windrush Boy: Meet the Author
22 September, 20 & 21 October 2026
11.30am-1.30pm
Dressing Room, The Higgins Bedford - Free Entry
Meet the author and curator of this display inspired by Gilroy Gregory’s historical novel, George (the teenage years), which tells the story of an 11-year-old Windrush boy who came to England from Jamaica and lived in South London during the 1960s and 1970s. The display is a glimpse into the lives of these unknown British children who came with their parents from the colonies to help in the rebuilding of Britain after World War 2. Gilroy Gregory will be reading from his book, explaining some of the objects on display, as well as providing an opportunity to purchase a signed copy of the book, do come and join us.
