Historical Map of Bath

Description

A full-colour map illustrating the layered history of Bath, from Roman times to the start of the 20th century. The map shows how the city’s famous
Georgian development overlies and spreads beyond the medieval core, itself centred within the Roman enclosure. Bath Abbey and its lost buildings are there, the medieval walls and mills, as well as the industry which sprang up in the 19th century. It also features a ground-breaking map reconstructing the city in 1641 when it was a cloth and wool centre and a market town.
