I am a Huge Huge Huge fan of the Arts and Crafts ( man ) style of architecture and this was a brilliant brilliant home built by an even more brilliant man. I am so glad that I found this show while I was binge watching rescue manor house, which I also love to watch.

I'm deep diving Adobe videos once again. So glad the UK is preserving these amazing estates.

That house, Cragside and Armstrong himself is really something. Very pleased to see the forest planting here too. Castle Drogo. The Arts and Crafts house of William Morris is a treasure.

Hi from Florida panhandle, USA. Thank you for a look at UK history. This is really an inspiring documentary about Mr. Hamilton.! He gave a lot to the world when he birthed renewable energy. This Estate is still relevant today. 😊 Thank God for giving men vision for the future, "...plans of hope and prosperity and to do good and not to harm." Jeremiah 29:11 I choose to remember the good, how Mr. Hamilton, who followed his dreams, brought good to the world.
