Where gentlemen powdered their wigs, a real-tennis court that became a factory that became a museum, Britain’s oldest war memorial, a forgotten industrial relic in the heart of the city, a secret garden in Widcombe, a road that closes for six weeks a year to protect toads, a little-known view of the King’s Bath, the theatre that became a church that became a Masonic lodge, an art deco interior unlike any other in the city.
Far from the crowds and the usual clichés, Bath has plenty of undiscovered hidden treasures for people who know how to wander off the beaten track.
This is an indispensable guide for those who want to really get to know Bath and especially for those who think they know it already.
