No 57: The History of a House

Episode Synopsis

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'. Interior design is not high on the agenda. But the world outside is changing with the influence of modernism, the space age and the Festival of Britain and tasters of this style creep into the house.
