Fabled City

The history in Fabled City

You may be wondering what basis I have for the historical information I'm giving. Well, I have used the excellent local history section in Bath Central Library and got my information from the sources listed below.

I will say immediately that the picture credits are not all acknowledged because I don't know where they all originate. Sorry!

So the pictures in Fabled City are the ones which I felt were those most worth sharing - unusual, unexpected, often glossed-over visions of Bath. If you have access to more pictures like these, and would not mind my using them, please get in touch. If I have used an image which belongs to you, please also get in touch - I have tried to acknowledge but I don't know the true sources for some of my images. Thanks.
