The Crescent, built by the Duke of Devonshire for his guests who came to "take the waters"

And here are the waters, St Catherines well, really a spring discovered by the Romans and the water comes from a depth of 1500 mtrs and is slightly warm, the Buxton water is free here as evidenced by these Yorkshiremen who have travelled a great distance to save 50p per bottle

Here are the original Bath buildings

And one of the baths, with dunking chair

A quick view of the High St
