The indigenous population were Celts but they were soon joined by Romans, Danes, Norse, Angles and Saxons. Romans colonised Britain in the third century and Normans invaded in 1066. The Jewish community arrived soon after but were expelled in 1290 and then allowed to resettle in 1656. The gypsies arrived in the 16th century followed by Africans as part of the slave trade. Between 1953 and 1963, Britain was experiencing an almost unprecedented economic boom. Without that
