Fix this textTHE Georgian city of Bath lies in the Avon valley at the junction of the
Fix this textMemdip range of hills and the Cotswolds in Somerset. It is essentially
Fix this textan 18th-century city, the finest example in existence of the civic-planning and
Fix this textdignified architecture of that decisive period in English social development.
Fix this textIts handsome streets and magnificent buildings, such as the Royal Crescent,
Fix this textthe Circus, Queen Square. Pulteney-street and the Parades, are monuments
Fix this textto that great architect, John Wood. He and other architects of the 18th
Fix this textcentury, who built these stately edifices, appreciated the natural beauties of
Fix this textthe situation, and realised the possibilities of the honey-colored Bath stone
Fix this textas a building-material.
Fix this textOne of the finest and most widely-known buildings in Bath is the Grand
Fix this textPump Room, built in 1797 to replace an earlier one of 1706, which stood on
Fix this textthe site of the Roman Temple of Sul-Minerva. During excavations many
Fix this textRoman relics were discovered, the most important of which included a bronze
Fix this texthead of Minerva and fragments of a stone-pediment, on which was carved a
Fix this textrepresentation of the head of the Gorgon Medusa. In the spacious interior
Fix this textof the Pump Room, where the waters are served for drinking, is a statue of
Fix this textBeau Nash, the self-appointed master-of-ceremonies in the early 18th century.
Fix this textHe organised entertainments and attracted society to Bath, which became the
Fix this textresort of fashion and the leading health-spa in England,
Fix this textThe Pump Room incorporates a modern bathing-establishment, where the
Fix this textfamous hot-springs rise at a temperature of 120 deg. F. at a constant daily
Fix this textflow of half-a-million gallons of the most highly radio-active mineral-water m
Fix this textthe British Isles. The Hot Springs Physical Treatment Centre is one of the
Fix this textfinest in Europe.
Fix this textAt the height of its fame Bath attracted many people famous in litera-
Fix this textture, art and science, or in the service of the State, such as Admiral 1 hillip,
Fix this textfounder of Australia, who lived at No. 19 Bennett-street. Other famous names
