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.

Taken with an f2.8 180mm Nikon lens which I had acquired just an hour earlier. I was passing one of my favourite shops, London Camera Exchange, by Bath Abbey when I spotted a mint-condition allegedly-used lens in the window for £150 below the best new price. I went straight in and nabbed it. It was spotless and the box, lens case and documentation were with it also (Greys of Westminster please note, your f2 135mm lens was also mint but minus the bits that should have come with it). What baffles me is why people buy expensive lenses like this and then don't use them. Anyway, my gain and I'll be turning it to astro-photography shortly.

The Guildhall in Bath, Somerset, England was built between 1775 and 1778 by Thomas Baldwin to designs by Thomas Warr Attwood. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building.
The current Bath stone building replaced a Stuart Guildhall, built in 1625, which itself replaced an earlier Tudor structure.
The facade has 4 Ionic columns and the building is surmounted by the figure of Justice. The central dome was added in 1893. It forms a continuous building with the Victoria Art Gallery and the covered market.
The interior includes a banqueting hall with engaged Corinthian columns. It contains 18th century chandeliers and original royal portraits. The room is used on royal visits to the city including Queen Elizabeth II who had lunch in the banqueting room in May 2002.
It now houses the Council Chamber and Register office for Bath and North East Somerset and is used as a wedding venue, and for filming period dramas. The Guildhall also serves as one of the venues for the Bath International Music Festival.
The Guildhall was originally built as a town hall: it has never served as the meeting place of any specific guild. A suggested etymology is from the Anglo Saxon "gild", or "payment"; the guildhall being where citizens came to pay their rates.

Parish Church in Bath, Somerset,of England,Iglesia Parroquial en Bath, Somerset, Inglaterra
It is located between Broad and Walcot Streets, which both merge onto Northgate Street. Located next to the Post Office Building, the south tower (referred to as the W tower) fronts Northgate street and dominates Bath's skyline. The current structure was designed by George Phillips Manners. It possesses a fine example of a Sweetland Organ.
The Church of St Michael's is known as St Michael's Without - it being the first church to be found outside the original city walls when exiting from the North Gate. The parish itself was known as St Michael's with St Paul's.
In 2013, with the closure of Holy Trinity Church Queen's Square, the parish boundary grew as the two parishes were merged under St Michael's. At this time, the parish reverted to its original name of St Michael's Without.
From Mondays to Saturdays, the church plays host to a cafe serving hot drinks, cakes and snacks

Turnpike Trusts were set up, by Acts of Parliament, from 1706 to the 1840s. Groups of local worthies raised money to build stretches of road and then charged the users tolls to pay for it.
From 1767, mileposts were compulsory on all turnpikes, not only to inform travellers of direction and distances, but to help coaches keep to schedule and for charging for changes of horses at the coaching inns. The distances were also used to calculate postal charges before the uniform postal rate was introduced in 1840. At the height of the turnpike era, there were 20,000 miles of roads with milestones.
From the 1840s, rail travel overtook road for longer journeys and many turnpike trusts were wound up. In 1888, the new County Councils were given responsibility for main roads and rural district councils for minor routes. As faster motorised transport developed so the importance of the milestones waned.
Such waymarkers are fast disappearing; around 9000 are thought to survive in the UK. Most were removed or defaced in World War II to baffle potential German invaders and not all were replaced afterwards. Many have been demolished as roads have been widened, or have been victims of collision damage, or have been smashed by hedge-cutters or flails. Nowadays, roadside milestones generally fall within the remit of the local Highways Authority or the Highways Agency and their contractors.
