The roots of Aylesbury's pioneer Muslim community can be traced back to the late 1950s, when families from the Mirpur and Kotli regions of Kashmir, Pakistan, first settled in the town. This early migration was driven by economic need and was encouraged by the UK's post-war labour shortages.
Since then, Aylesbury's Muslim population has grown into a thriving, multi-ethnic community. What began as a small, close-knit group has blossomed into a dynamic, successful population with professionals spanning nearly every field.
The town is also home to a wide range of skilled Muslim tradespeople and entrepreneurs, creating a diverse and vibrant professional ecosystem that contributes significantly to Aylesbury's growth and prosperity.
