    1962-05

    37 photographic prints taken by Howard Grey showing West Indian migrants arriving at London’s Waterloo station in May 1962 on the boat train from Southampton to Waterloo. The light conditions had meant that the original negatives had not developed properly but were recovered 50 years later using digital technology. Includes posed and unposed images of passengers looking out of railway carriages and disembarking onto the platform; crowds of people including women with children; images show ticketing equipment and refreshment stands; piles of luggage on platforms; luggage being selected, secured, and carried; passengers talking to station staff; families who appear to be waiting for passengers on platforms; people embracing; a news crew recording footage
