The #RiverAvon flows through the city and here, you can see it and also one of the famous #bridges, called #PulteneyBridge, which has shops over the span.

@mkwadee Ah, but, there is occasional rebellion against uniformity in Bath ... https://bathnewseum.com/2012/08/17/a-clash-of-colour-in-the-crescent/
A clash of colour in the Crescent!

Forty years ago this year the redoubtable and formidable Miss Amabel Wellesley-Colley took on the might of Bath Corporation and the Bath Preservation Trust and  dared to put a blot on a world-famou…

@mkwadee One of which shops being Swindells' stamp shop. Though I must hasten to add that I've always got good deals there, despite the name.

The buildings are amazing. But that lawn...I'd fill it full of trees!

@mkwadee @MostlyTato Indeed there are some immediately behind the camera (assuming the picture was taken from the path).
