Overflow

This week's Saturday Timewatch goes back to the era of Roman Britain. When the Romans developed Bath's already existing warm water spring area into a fully-fledged bath complex, there was so much water flowing that they had to build an overflow and also a culvert to channel the excess water into the nearby river. It still exists and still flows to this very day.
