No 57: History of a House

Presented by Maxwell Hutchinson, this last programme in the series looks at No 57 from 1969 to the present day. When John Macey bought the house in the late 1960s it was practically derelict and it was a two year labour of love to turn it back into a family home.

Presented by Maxwell Hutchinson, this fifth programme looks at No 57 between 1930 and 1965 when the house is at its nadir. The whole area is run down and 'post war'.

Presented by Maxwell Hutchinson, this fourth programme looks at No 57 between 1902 and 1930. Design themes include the Edwardian style and Art Nouveau.

Presented by Maxwell Hutchinson, this third programme looks at No 57 between 1880-1905 and shows how Victorian Gothic and the influence of the aesthetic and arts and crafts movement affected the house. No 57 is by now not as fashionable as it once was and the whole area has come down in the world a little bit.

Presented by Maxwell Hutchinson, this second programme looks at No 57 between 1849-1879 and shows how the rise of an eclectic style of interior design and developments in engineering, science and manufacturing influenced what people could have in their homes. It is the first time No 57 has running water - just one tap in the kitchen.

The former president of the Royal Institute of British Architects will examine how design has affected one Georgian house and its inhabitants in Bristol, from when it was first built in 1779 right up to the present day. Throughout the series Maxwell reveals how fashions in interior design have mirrored social, political and economic trends.
