Anna Chen sets out to uncover the early history of the Chinese who came to Britain before the takeaway boom of the 1960s.

2/10. The Creation of Chinatown

As the Chinese settlement in ports such as London and Liverpool grew in the early 20th Century, so did the myths and lurid fantasies. Anna investigates how the small Limehouse Chinese community in London became the subject of countless books, songs, films and hysterical headlines during the 1920s.

From 2007.
