Born in Bath 73 years ago lived in Weston Village at 18 the Weal. Worked for Hayward and Wooster. Now live in Chichester West Sussex good memories thanks for the video well done you 😉
I quite liked the Soutgate shopping centre, they shouldn't have gotten rid of it. Sad to hear my old secondary was closed down (Culverhay) mind you it wasn't a surprise.
Many thanks for uploading this video. I have shared it on a Facebook group called 'BORN & BRED OR LIVE IN THE CITY OF BATH' and it has attracted a lot of attention. Thank you ... and stay safe at this time 👍
I lived at nº 2 The Circus, which was partly destroyed by one of the bombs intended for the Assembly Rooms just beside it, thus I have studied the reality of why this raid occurred during a lifetime. Unfortunately, I must state that opinion in Bath was always that if an accord is made to not destroy historic cities, to place the Admiralty main offices in the city was already breaking the accord. It has since become known that 'Bomber Harris' destroyed Lubeck and Rostock in experiments to test the starting of firestorms, as they had abundant wood framed buildings that "would light up easily and were as yet undamaged". My conclusion is that my family and several thousand others suffered because the British did not respect this 'gentleman's accord'. So, for once history must place the blame not on the Germans but on the British.
