I'd hoped to get some rather distorted looking faces, but aside from the natural distortions, didn't have much luck! It was a bit concerned that the images would look like shots of a drowned person, hence my decision to crop as much of the tub out .
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.

House, now mixed use. 1743. By John Wood the Elder.
MATERIALS: Limestone ashlar, with Welsh slate roof.
PLAN: Double depth terrace house with three bays to South Parade and four bays to Pierrepont Street.
EXTERIOR: This three storey house, with attic and basement, and projecting forward from its neighbours, forms the left-hand end of a Palladian palace-fronted terrace, twenty-nine bays in all, arranged three : seven : three : three : three : seven : three. Platband at first floor level, inscribed in capitals `SOUTH PARADE¿. Modillion cornice, balustraded parapet. Windows are late C19 plate glass sashes, but in unaltered openings with plain architraves and cornice heads on first floor. Six panel door with pediment on console brackets. Wrought iron front area railings in place of the original stone balustrade; basement window openings blocked. Mansard roof with two flat topped dormers, ashlar stack without pots. Elevation to Pierrepont Street of four bays, the southern three projecting forward as part of the end of terrace emphasis. Aedicular door surround with pediment carried on consoles in second bay from right; panelled door, altered. Matching window surrounds to front elevation; left-hand pair with C19 plate glass windows, right-hand pair of blind windows, that on ground floor to right of door missing. Sill band to first floor, inscribed `PIERREPONT STREET¿ in sunk capitals. Modillion cornice, parapet, three flat topped casement dormers. Wrought iron area railings.
INTERIOR: Not inspected.
HISTORY: Wood ('Essay', p.248) records the corner house on South Parade as being built in 1743, the first part of the street to be constructed. Part of the uncompleted John Wood scheme for the Abbey Orchard, 1740-1749, and thus part of one of the major urban developments of the day, built to a single overall design. This prominent corner house is notable for retaining its stone parapet balustrade: the others have been largely dismantled.

Duke Street in Bath, Somerset, England was built in 1748 by John Wood, the Elder. Several of the buildings have been designated as Grade I listed buildings.
The street, which overlooks the River Avon, is pedestrianised with no vehicles permitted to enter. Duke Street was part of a wider scheme to build a Royal Forum, which was never completed.
