I wasn’t prepared for Bath. I knew that it was the location of the Roman Baths but I didn’t realize that the town itself was so beautiful.
These residences were designed by the architect, John Wood. Unfortunately, he died before he could see them built and his son, also named John, completed his work.
I’m not sure what to make of this sign on Bridge Street. Mr. Duck?
At first, the juxtaposition of the Levi’s sign — a modern classic — on this Georgian building bothered me. A part of me still feels like it’s out of place.
Bath is worth the trip.
Enjoy!

So beautiful. Thanks for bringing it to us.
Are there still Roman baths there? Did you go? How old are they?
Isn’t it, Narelle? I really love places that are rich in history and architecture – Bath fills both.
Yes, there is. I started writing that post, but this one seemed to want to be told first. The Bath is from the time of the Roman occupation of Britain. There’s a lot of history that I wanted to be accurate about and will have to add a little research to add to the notes I made. Will work on finishing it up today.
Thanks for stopping by. My apologies for not coming by your blog — I’m so behind on my reading. Have lots to catch up on this weekend!

Brilliant! I’m so glad you liked Bath, it’s a great place. I walked for miles and miles when I went there last October. So much to see and a really lovely vibe about the place
Some great photos there Marcia
Thanks, Tony!
Yes, LOVED it! Would like to go back, maybe spend a few days just exploring it. So much to see, I know I just scratched the surface.
Thanks for stopping by.
