Having visited Bath's GWR station, it only seemed right that I visited the old Midland Railway station in the city. Bath Green Park was the northern terminus of the Somerset and Dorset Joint line and the southern terminus of the Midland Railway's to Bristol line. The Station closed in 1966 and was later resoted by sainsbury's.
The rugby season was back underway when I took this photo, so maybe wet weather isn't a bad thing on a day when the ground wasn't in use
Photo of the Royal Crescent, Bath.
The Royal Crescent is a row of 30 terraced houses laid out in a sweeping crescent in the city of Bath, England. Designed by the architect John Wood, the Younger and built between 1767 and 1774, it is among the greatest examples of Georgian architecture to be found in the United Kingdom and is a Grade I listed building. Although some changes have been made to the various interiors over the years, the Georgian stone facade remains much as it was when first built.
The 500-foot-long (150 m) crescent has 114 Ionic columns on the first floor with an entablature in a Palladian style above. It was the first crescent of terraced houses to be built.
Many notable people have either lived or stayed in the Royal Crescent since it was built over 240 years ago, and some are commemorated on special plaques attached to the relevant buildings. Of the crescent's 30 townhouses, 10 are still full-size townhouses; 18 have been split into flats of various sizes; one is the No. 1 Royal Crescent museum and the large central house at number 16 is The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa.

Ever present, the pigeons patrol for scraps of food discarded by tourists. Taken near the abbey, Bath.
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.
