Ideas and attitudes travelled in and out of the 18th-century country houses, between town and country and, as we’ll discover in this video, between the coffee house and the country house.

‘The Dream of the Coffee House’ was the result of a collaboration between Dr Adam Smith and film-maker Gemma Thorpe, generously funded by ‘Arts Enterprise’ at the University of Sheffield. The film explores the cultural dialogue between the coffee house now and its eighteenth-century forbearers - what is the coffee shop, what has it always been, and what has it always wanted to be?
