Did anyone see the programme last night about Bath, with Dan Cruickshank?

It was very interesting indeed. Mostly to do with the architecture of the city, with it's influences and John Wood, the man who designed it...

At one point, it was mentioned that the Royal Circus is exactly, and deliberately, the same diameter as Stonehenge and Stanton Drew! I would never have guessed.

Be worth seeing again, I reckon, and from the beginning...

Ah - here we go!

The Circus

Dan Cruickshank visits the Georgian city of Bath to explore the Circus, a perfect circle of palatial terraced houses covered in strange symbols and ornamentation. Designed by architect John Wood and admired by Jane Austen, the properties soon ranked among the most fashionable addresses in the country
