The Royal Crescent
Another great day here in Bath we have wandered for hours, I so love Bath it’s my fourth time here and I never tire of its beauty
This the view of the famous, Royal Crescent.
The Royal Crescent is a row of 30 terraced houses laid out in a sweeping crescent here in the city of Bath. 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 façade remains much as it was when it was first built.
Many notable people have either lived or stayed in the Royal Crescent since it was first built over 230 years ago, and some are commemorated on special plaques attached to the relevant buildings.
Of the Royal Crescent's 30 townhouses, 10 are still full-size townhouses; 18 have been split into flats of various sizes, number one is the “Royal Crescent Museum” and the large central house at number 16 is the Royal Crescent Hotel.
Thank you all for the birthday wishes, comments, hearts and stars you have given me, I truly appreciate each and every one of them.
Hope you have all had a great weekend.
