In the 1680s, Britain welcomed 50,000+ Huguenot refugees fleeing persecution from France. They brought skills in weaving, banking, clockmaking & more and helped build key British industries. Many iconic British names and businesses today trace back to them. A powerful reminder of the benefits of immigration.
