Camden Crescent
What is it?
Camden Crescent was planned to consist of twenty-two houses, with
another ten in flanking wings that would rise steeply up the
hillside (five on each end).
Designed in 1787-8 by John Eveleigh, only the five in the
south-west wing (off the photo to the
left) and sixteen houses of the Crescent were built (and are
currently numbered from 1 to 21). Work
on the north-east six houses and the five in the wing were
abandoned following
landslips.
Where is it in Bath?
