The New Historical Map of Bath
The history of Bath is well covered for Roman times, the Georgian period and later but there is a gap for the intervening period. Our map will cover these periods but also looks at Bath in the seventeenth century.
It will be a double sided map similar in format to Ordnance Survey Land Ranger maps but at 1:2500 scale with a background plan of about 1900 and the main sites and buildings of interest throughout Bath's history highlighted in colour on the front.
The reverse will show more detail of the seventeenth century and will also be illustrated with contemporary pictures of the city, mainly from The Victoria Art Gallery collection, and descriptions of the main buildings and areas of interest.
