Jarrett, Cascais, Portugal


Forte de Santo António da Barra – Cascais, Portugal. Holiday Residence of the Portuguese dictator Salazar. What the picture that I took means to me is how Portugal has embraced, from its closed dictatorial inward looking past, the opportunities both culturally and economically of being a member state and how I feel that the UK is going in the opposite direction.

This postcard is one of several collated as part of collaboration between Dr Michaela Benson and the Migration Museum. A selection of these appears in the Postcards from the British in Europe installation in Departures, the museum's current exhibition exploring four centuries of emigration from Britain, bringing Britain’s emigration story and its emigrants into the national conversation about migration
