Building Talks... 180 years of history (bonus episode with former editors)

Season 2, Episode 5,   Dec 12, 2023, 05:00 AM

Welcome to a special bonus episode of the Building Talks podcast.

As you may know, Building Magazine is 180 years old this year - having launched as “The Builder” back in 1843. 

In this special one-off episode, we celebrate by going back to the not-too-distant past with four previous editors of Building Magazine. From the tail-end of Thatcherism, through the Blair years, and right up to Brexit - they were covering the major the stories affecting the construction industry. 

We gathered Peter Bill, Adrian Barrick, Denise Chevin and Sarah Richardson in the studio to talk about their personal memories, the big projects, the larger-than- life characters, and the sagas that hit the front pages of Building magazine during their eras.
