The Full Story

Migration Stories North West

Migration Stories North West (2021-24) is a National Lottery Heritage Fund project.

The Migration Stories North West project was developed by five organisations across the North West of England, supported by historians and heritage organisations from around the region. Each partner has worked with local adults and young people to research and document histories of migration in and out of the North West from the Roman period to the present day.

The project shows how the North West has always been a place of migration, and explores the movement of people to and from other parts of the British Isles and other parts of the world. The reasons for their migration are as varied as the people themselves: their migration resulted from conflict, colonialism and trade, as well as in search of work, educational opportunities or a better life.

Fair Futures CIC worked on phase 2 of the project, with students and staff at The Derby High School. An excellent group of students created oral histories with 10 volunteer adults who had migrated into or out of the North West of England.

Migration Stories North West includes around 100 personal stories of migration, documented by teams of volunteer researchers and school groups from across the region. See the interactive story maps on the Migration Stories page here.
