History of Bath – Georgian England, preserved


Listen Later

Ye Olde Guide is a podcast about the history of English towns and cities.

A superbly preserved Georgian resort town owing its existence to unique geology, Bath is one of the most visited cities in England.  We will explore its incredible architecture and much more including :

  • How the city provided creative scenery throughout the ages, from Saxon poetry, to Jane Austen, Thomas Gainsborough and Les Misérables;
  • The event in Bath that provided the blueprint for the British coronation ceremonies to this day;
  • The first discovery of a new planet in a Bath back garden.

And of course the unique buildings that form the most complete surviving Georgian city, and how they came to be.
