This illustrated history portrays one of England's finest cities.
It provides a nostalgic look at Bath's past and highlights the
special character of some of its most important historic sites. The
photographs are taken from the Historic England Archive, a unique
collection of over 12 million photographs, drawings, plans and
documents covering England's archaeology, architecture, social and
local history. Pictures date from the earliest days of photography
to the present and cover subjects from Bronze Age burials and
medieval churches to cinemas and seaside resorts. Founded in AD
60-70 by the Roman invaders, and named Aquae Sulis after the
hot-water springs with their seemingly magical healing qualities,
the town grew to become a popular health spa. It was, however,
during the Georgian era that Bath flourished. Jane Austen lived
here for a short period and used the city as the setting for
Northanger Abbey and Persuasion. Historic England: Bath shows the
city as it once was, from its perfectly preserved Georgian streets
to its sweeping crescents. Today, Bath is a major tourist
destination, a World Heritage Centre and a city of international
importance. This book will help you discover its remarkable 2,000
years of history.
