A fascinating 200-year journey through the history of British interior design, 'No 57: The History of a House', examines 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, presenter Maxwell Hutchinson, a former president of the Royal Institute of British Architects, reveals how fashions in interior design have mirrored social, political and economic trends.

'No 57: The History of a House' explores six different periods, each covering between 30 and 50 years. The interior is restored with objects and gadgets, allowing us to discover how the different families occupying the house might have lived and how design influenced their lifestyle.
