2. Barnard Castle

Available for over a year

Stories of Dickens, Richard III, an entrepreneurial community and a unique landscape. These all provide inspiration for food innovator Simon Preston and local chef Andrew Rowbotham as they capture the spirit of Barnard Castle in Teesdale in a single signature dish. Local antiques expert David Harper shares stories from history; young business entrepreneur Leah Hobson gives her alternative view of the townsfolk through the clothes they buy and sell while retired vet Neville Turner provides a window into the beautiful flora and fauna that surrounds the town. Producer: Pennie Latin First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in July 2014.
