Water, History and Style by Cathryn Spence
This year marks the 25th anniversary of Bath's inscription with UNESCO as a World Heritage site. It is recognised for a number of Outstanding Universal Values (OUVs), including its extensive Roman remains, its Georgian town planning that is documented as a masterpiece of human creative genius, its landscape setting and the location of the only naturally occurring hot springs in the country. This exciting new book will focus on 25 locations throughout the city that have been identified as embodying elements of these OUVs and will be richly illustrated throughout with historical images from the archives of Bath in Time. The book will set out to interpret and identify the uniqueness that is Bath, and will serve as a valuable guide to anyone wanting to explore the city and uncover the fascinating stories behind each location.
