You Either See It or You Don't: the Story of 18 Folgate Street, Spitalfields

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Entering 18 Folgate Street in London Spitalfields is like stepping back in time. Actor Vicky Licorish takes us on a tour of this extraordinary house, created over the last 20 years by artist Dennis Severs, who lived there with no electricity or modern comforts, in much the same way as its inhabitants might have done in the early 18th century. Artists, writers and architectural historians join the tour to reflect on the splendour eccentricity and historical importance of the house, its contents and its visionary owner.
