A picture of Bath

In the 1920's and 30's Bath took a look at how to preserve and make the most of it's beautiful Georgian buildings and made it a crime to build new homes in the centre without using Bath stone. The Bath preservation was formed. Much of their good work was undone however, during 1942 when the German Luftwaffe dropped dozens of bombs on the city killing 100's of people and destroying some of Bath's beautiful historic buildings. Since this time Bath has had a major clean up of the blackened buildings which were covered by centuries of soot, and Bath Abbey has also had a major face-lift
