Echoes of Windrush

I joined a simple heritage walk to learn more about my neighborhood.

Then the street shifted beneath my feet, the air changed, and I found myself walking through Brixton as it was in the 1950s... with someone limping steadily behind me.

One moment I was photographing a mural, and the next, the world around me had slipped decades backward. The gastropubs were gone. The streetlights were dim and yellow. The smell of coal smoke and fried fish hung in the air. And a tall man in a trilby hat began following me.

When I came back, a rusted Windrush badge clutched in my hand that hadn’t been there before.

If you’re drawn to time‑slip hauntings, cultural echoes, or stories where history refuses to stay quiet, press play.

Not for kids - listener discretion advised.
