Book excerpt: Bath is one of the most popular and significant tourist destinations in Britain. No fewer than four million visitors each year visit the much-renovated Roman Baths, marvel at the sites of this World Heritage city, or simply meander through its now carefully conserved eighteenth-century streets. For a few hours before they are whisked away to Stratford-upon-Avon, Edinburgh or London, they absorb the carefully presented image of Bath as ancient spa, elegant Georgian city and haunt of the likes of Richard 'Beau' Nash or Jane Austen. Bath has always tried to present itself in a favorable light. The true picture of Bath throughout its long and varied history is of course much fuller, more interesting and varied than the facade presented to casual visitors. From its earliest known history as spa during the Roman period, Bath transformed itself into Saxon monastic town and subsequently Norman cathedral city. It developed into a regional market and - perhaps surprisingly - a centre of the woollen trade during the Middle Ages, before becoming probably the most important health resort of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Thereafter, rapid expansion in the Georgian period created an enduring architectural legacy which made Bath the country's foremost fashionable resort, attracting increasing numbers of visitors. Later, the city experienced some years of relative decline, from which it re-emerged, this time as a favored place of genteel residence in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This theme of constant re-invention now sees Bath attempt to become a 'festival city', in the market for cultural tourism, while the long-anticipated opening of a new thermal spa should bring a new lease of life to the hot springs which, of course, represent Bath's very oldest attraction, and in many ways its very raison d'être. This book goes beyond the narrow, popular image of Bath to explore years of extraordinary change, variety and interest, focusing wherever possible on the lives of ordinary residents, and seeking to explain as well as to chronicle Bath's truly unique historical legacy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from 1400 Historical Dates of the Town and City of Bath: And Town of Georgetown, From 1604 to 1874 The author has been over forty years collecting historical dates and reminiscences of the history of Georgetown and Bath; and, during that time, has searched and had recourse to all the ancient histories of New England, and particularly Maine and Acadia, among which are Massachusetts Records, Sullivan's History of Maine, and the collections of the Elaine Historical Society, the Frontier Missionary, &c. Likewise he is indebted to General Joseph Sewall for many historical facts; likewise to Nathaniel Groton, Esq., for the history of the churches; likewise to John Hayden, Esq., surveyor, for more recent transactions; likewise to a great many of the ancient inhabitants who outlived the common age of man, and were nearly all living within the recollection of the author, who was personally acquainted with every man that lived in Bath. But on account of the extent of these manuscripts, he has concluded to leave out a great deal and condense as much as possible, so that the work may come within the reach of every person, as a reference book that can be relied on in the future, which is more important in consequence of the Town Records having been burnt in 1838. He has a map of Long Reach in 1795, when there was but one street, which was High street. Bath, March, 1874. To Some Future City Government or the City of Bath. Your Honorable body will find a natural reservoir for water thirty-five feet directly east from the Sagadahock House door, on Front street, without blowing the ledge, and will find plenty of water, without forcing it up the hill from the river. Many years ago, in the spring and fall of the year, truck teams in passing were sure to get mired here. It was often filled up with earth, yet to no purpose. At last, about 1818 to 1822 many loads of chips were carted from Clapp's shipyard and dumped into it, completely filling it. In some future day, when those wooden buildings are out of the way and the street widened in line with Bank Block, this may give the City Government a hint from an old citizen which may be of some use.
