My Teddy in the bath. It's a little precarious taking photographs with your phone in such a damp and active environment! But we managed it...
...just!

The Bath Abbey Footprint Project is a Heritage Lottery Fund project to repair the Abbey’s collapsing floor, install a new eco-friendly heating system using Bath’s hot springs, and provide new, improved space and facilities to ensure the Abbey is more sustainable, hospitable and useable for local residents, worshippers and visitors alike.
Wessex Archaeology will be working alongside Bath-based firm Emery to help deliver the £19.3 million Footprint Project.

A sidewalk prism in Bath, England, manufactured by Haywards Limited of London. The Hayward brothers were William and Edward Hayward, part of a notable family of glaziers and glass-cutters, who made the move into the ironmongery trade when they bought the business of Robert Henly in 1848. Robert Henly was an iron work specialist who had also been producing coalholes, but ill-health had led him to sell his business. The Hayward Brothers expanded the business and made their fortune not from jobbing iron-work or coalholes, but from the development and patenting of a semi-prismatic pavement light, such as the one shown here. These sidewalk prisms act as skylights to illuminate dark basement. The company seems to have gone out of business in the 1970s.
Bath is full of these old Victorian houses, some are incredibly dirty, which kind of ruins the look of them but I guess it adds to the aged look.
Random fact: Around the corner on the left of the photo is the shortest road in the UK. It's only 2 houses long with one house of each side of the road. Apparently the reason behind this was the builders ran out of money after finishing two houses and they just left it as it was.
" if your fuel pump breaks while you're at the sea side, just call us up, and we'll come and fix it for you "
...I'm sure there are stronger arguments to consider 'road side recovery' than if you're lucky enough to have your car fail at the seaside!!

Bath is a city in the ceremonial county of Somerset, South West England, 97 miles west of London and 13 miles south-east of Bristol. In 2011, its population was 88,859. It became a city by Elizabeth I granting it a Royal Charter in 1590 and a county borough in 1889. The city became part of Avon in 1974; since Avon's abolition in 1996, it has been the principal centre of Bath and North East Somerset.
The city became a spa with the Latin name Aquae Sulis ("the waters of Sulis") c. AD 60 when the Romans built baths and a temple in the valley of the River Avon, although oral tradition suggests that the hot springs were known before then. It became popular as a spa town during the Georgian era, leaving a heritage of Georgian architecture crafted from Bath Stone.
