The Batory

Dr Yasmin Khan unearths stories of those travelling on the great ocean liner The Batory in the 1950s, whose arrival in Britain changed the face of the country. Yasmin uncovers the extraordinary story of Bachan Singh, an ambitious young man from a village in the Punjab, who found freedom in the pubs and clubs of 1950s Liverpool, before making it big in the local ice cream trade, while Ahmed Takolia takes her to the heartlands of 1950s manufacturing in the Midlands.
