As the post-war economy in the UK grew, there was a severe shortage of manpower restricting growth especially in labour intensive manual industries like Steel and Textiles. Employers started to actively recruit in the commonwealth countries and many Pakistanis chose to start a new life in far more prosperous England as they had full rights of entry and residence.

Of course in the 1950s Pakistan included what is now Bangladesh.
