Heritage Heroes

Heritage Heroes is a seven part television series - first aired on BBC - that features 18 people from around the world who are ensuring there is room for the past in our rapidly expanding cities

From all walks of life - from Princes to trades unionists - the heroes have a common link in an unshakeable conviction that the present is impoverished unless we find ways to safeguard architectural glories.
