GREENE King worked with historian and curator, Tony Fairweather, to bring the social history of the Windrush Generation into its pubs to celebrate Black History month.

The exhibition was recently based at the Moorhen pub near Harlow railway station.

The “Windrush Front Room” is a nostalgic look back at the well-remembered homes of the Windrush Generation, featuring a re-creation of the iconic Caribbean front room, and showcases many family favourites, from the Blue Spot Gramophone to the eclectic ornaments displayed in glass cabinets.

Historian and curator of the Windrush Front Room, Tony Fairweather said: “Pubs are the heart of their local communities, so what better way to bring a piece of our social history to people within the community and make it more accessible for them to find out more about this generation.

“It’s important for people to understand our shared history and partnering with Greene King on this project means that I will be able to share the stories of people from the African-Caribbean community, and the challenges and resilience they showed adapting to life in the UK, to a wider audience.”
