A House Through Time

Historian David Olusoga returns for a new outing of his series documenting the personal histories of an era through the lives of the inhabitants of a single house.

Olusoga begins by raiding the archives to tell the story of its first resident, the lawyer William Bruce, before documenting the life of Ann Dawson, who went from working in a factory to living at Grosvenor Mount.
