Bath and Jane

Bath, England, for me at least it's the land of Regency Romances and Jane Austen. But long before Jane, Bath was originally settled by the Romans. Before ladies of high British Society, took the "cure," the baths were a temple, bath and gathering place for the Roman legions who conquered England.

Of course, Bath is still the epitome of Regency society in England. The place were the upper crust came in the winter to party, gossip and drink the water. Here's the Crescent, condos for the wealthy of the 1600 to 1800's.

  1. I think I would pass on the baths of Bath. All that warm water must breed a ton of germs!
