Speaking with shadows: The Caribbean Prisoners of Portchester Castle

We’re still busy behind the scenes, so in the meantime we wanted to share a special series with you called Speaking with Shadows. 

It sees Josie Long teaming up with English Heritage to uncover some of the most fascinating forgotten stories from England’s past. We hope you enjoy it. 

In this episode, we visit Portchester Castle to hear about the black prisoners of war who were captured during the Napoleonic wars and brought all the way from the Caribbean to be imprisoned at the castle.
