World Heritage Site - Stall Street


What is it?


Wikipedia:   The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Sites are places of importance to cultural or natural heritage as described in the UNESCO World Heritage Convention, established in 1972. There are 33 UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the United Kingdom and the British Overseas Territories. The City of Bath was inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 1987 and again as Bath Spa (as a component of the Great Spas of Europe) in July 2021. 

Where is it in Bath?


One plaque is fixed to railings next to the west entrance to the Pump Room (opposite the Primark store). The World Heritage Site logo is set into the paving at the junction of Bath Street and Stall Street (see below):
