Episode 2

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 key families are the Tratmans who ran a ships' Chandlery in Bristol, and the Withers, a watchmaker with his wife and three children.
