About this listen

 In this special episode, we sit down with renowned architect and TV presenter George Clarke inside the historic Cragside estate in Northumberland—specifically, in a grand bedroom once reserved for royalty. But for George, this isn’t about luxury; Cragside is where his dream to become an architect was born, during a school trip as a young boy. We talk about that formative moment, and trace his journey back to his roots on a council estate in Washington, Tyne and Wear—one of the first post-war new towns. George speaks candidly about growing up proud of where he came from, and why high-quality design and social housing matter now more than ever. This is a conversation full of passion, place, and purpose—as well as a powerful reminder that inspiration can strike anywhere, even in the quiet awe of a boy looking up at a beautiful building.
