We almost lost the art of building homes from oak in Britain. Thankfully, someone in Herefordshire wasn’t going to let that happen.&nbsp;In today’s show we celebrate a dad who revived the medieval craft and built a business.&nbsp;Number 37 on our list of the greatest items we make here is The Oak-Framed Home.&nbsp;Merry Albright is creative director of Border Oak, and daughter of the founder, John David Greene. She shows us around the firm’s workshops in Leominster as we celebrate the skills her dad had to relearn and then teach others.&nbsp;Also on the show, we consider why we stopped making homes from trees, invite MPs to look through the company’s business accounts, question why the planning system became so combative, and fall in love with a boxed heart.&nbsp;Say hello on Instagram @thefactorynextdoor&nbsp;The Factory Next Door is supported by AVEVA, a leader in industrial intelligence.&nbsp;&nbsp;Sign up to their bi-weekly newsletter about manufacturing here:&nbsp;www.aveva.com/factory<hr> Hosted on Acast.
