  1. The Daily Daisy Friday 22nd June 1948 Price: 3 shillings. Jamaican Migrants Set Foot In Tilbury Earlier on this morning, many Jamaican migrants came to Tilbury and are keen to share their thoughts. A large number of migrants expressed the way they missed their more tropical environment, but one particular 49 year old man seemed impressed by his first sightings. “I’m liking what I see, and I can’t wait to arrive at Hampstead N.W.1 as I hear there is a job free as a mechanic,” commented Arthur Falkes.

Each and everyone’s next step will be to start almost a whole new beginning in England; a new life. Seeming as they have been living here for a bit, many people hope to be re-distributed to new addresses. Arthur Falkes, being one of them, is known to be a very resourceful man as a mechanic, as he hopes very much to be. Harry Wycherley.
