Born in Yemen, Forged in Sheffield

on BBC Radio 4 FM

From the mountains of Yemen to Sheffield's steel mills they came in their thousands, each clutching a British colonies passport, wearing a flannel suit and pursuing a dream of earning enough to return home and build a castle of his own. Half a century on, Alan Dein explores the stories of those Yemenis who forged new lives in the harshest conditions. Producer Mark Burman
