24th June 1962 First glimpse of Britain makes a big impression on this tiny West Indian pictured at Southampton on arrival in the Italian liner Ascania. the ship had on board about 1,100 immigrants - the largest number to reach Britain from Trinidad, barbados and St Kitts. They arrived only a week before the introduction of the Commonwealth Immigrants Act, under which the British Governement has power to limit the number of Commonwealth citizens coming to Britain to work or to settle.
