The bath itself and the broken off columns are 1st century Roman. The rest of the porch is 1800s.
A carving from the Roman temple that stood on this site. Dedicated to the local celtic water goddess and to the Roman goddess Minerva.
They have found 13,000 coins that were thrown into the spring by Roman pilgrims for over 400 years.
Vessels for the oil needed for your massage at the baths.
Lead strip with a curse written on it. The curse would be thrown into the spring as a request to the goddess who was thought to live there. (Obviously that's why the water is hot. There is a goddess living in it.)
I like this fragment of Diane. Since she is kind of my name sake. (Cynthia being a variant.)
Floor mosaic found in the temple complex.
Glass items found in the excavation at Bath of two houses.
The tiles are stacked up to make piles for another floor to sit on. Slaves worked an oven underneath the floor to heat the floor, walls and ceilings of the bath buildings. Romans really don't like cold weather.
Door to the Pump Room
Lunch at the Pump Room.
The Abbey church which had the sign out asking for prayer.
A bridge and faux waterfalls along the Parade by the river.
The Guildhouse Market. It's a large building that has been converted to a series of booths with merchandise.
A modern person's rendering of what Jane Austen might have looked like.
A very good likeness of Jane Austen's folding writing desk. The real one is at the British Library, so I saw it last week.
The street where Jane lived for a few years in Bath. Although it wasn't a happy time in her life.
Her father died leaving only 500 pounds a year for the two sisters and their mother to live on.
The unfashionable square that we parked on.
What we see everyday.
We aren't making this up. They are all over the place. I have no idea how they determine where to put them up.
The Tor from the pasture gate.
The white speck is Ox coming up the hill.
Getting closer.
This is the view from the top.
The old bell tower.
Maggie at the tower.
