Spirit Entertainment Restoration Man - Series 1

Restoration Man sees George Clarke (Amazing Spaces) travelling around the country meeting and talking to different people who want to restore architectural treasures.All over the country, thousands of buildings lie forgotten and neglected, tangled up with red tape and development restrictions. Many of these lost treasures are of outstanding architectural interest, yet are slowly being left to rot. These are the property orphans no sane developer would touch.George Clarke is Restoration Man, passionate about our architectural heritage, but not interested in restoration for its own sake. George wants to help breathe new life into these structures, and ultimately help their new owners to restore and convert these vulnerable wrecks into unique and beautiful homes, with all modern-day facilities, but with their structural soul intact.In this series of nine episodes, George Clarke seeks out the finest examples of windmills, towers, gatehouses, ice houses, granary mills or churches - buildings with interesting and mysterious histories, at one time important to their local community that passionate restoration warriors are converting into homes. Celebrating the past but crucially re-inventing a future for these architectural gems in the 21st century.
