Sarah's adventures in Bath part III
Day three we went to Pulteney Bridge which in the Regency was the new bridge. Unfortunately while there my camera ceased working - turned out to be a faulty connection in the lens, not the camera - phew! the cheapest half - and not worth repairing. Whilst consulting the very nice man in the camera shop near the Abbey I was told that there are tunnels under Bath and that there is a bricked up one in the cellar of that shop. Anyone who knows more, I would dearly love to know.
Some back alleys which I don't think have changed much, including Sally Lunn's cake shop
Looking to the downs on the other side of the river
Looking down into Parade, once St James's gardens
Looking up Gt Pulteney St past Laura Place towards Sydney Gardens
Looking across the river at the site of the old assembly rooms
