Beverley comes into the barn with a British passport issued to her father in Jamaica in 1948 which served as his legally binding document to come to the UK to help rebuild after the Second World War. Keithly brings in a suitcase used by his mother that holds memories of her journey from the island of Nevis to the UK in 1956.
