Green Park Green Park is where the fashionable and sporting young gentlemen and ladies can be seen riding in the early morning or taking a carriage around in the afternoon. It is a large, formal and rather unadorned park, set around a vast, neatly clipped green lawn as large as two fields, with towering clipped conifers, sand coloured gravel paths and tall black iron wrought railings around the outside.
Queen Square Queen Square is a large publicly owned mansion in the centre of the city, like most of the grander buildings it is made of sandstone. There are marble columns outside it supporting a large, ornate balcony from which stone cherubs and nymphs dance. The windows are all long and done in a late Baroque style. The upper rooms are used for assemblies and dances, if there is any large public ball, it will be held here.
Walcot Church Walcot Church stands on the corner of Westgate Street. It is a tall, graceful church, built in the fifteenth century and is a common attraction for tourists and pilgrims alike. Here weddings, christenings, funerals and sunday morning services are held.
Westgate Street (6 sub-boards) Westgate Street is the most popular street in Bath. Here, all the fashionable visitors and locals flock. There are milliners, seamstresses, boutiques of all sorts, coffee houses, book shops, antique and furniture sellers. Food and fine wines from abroad can also be found here.
The Pump Rooms The Pump rooms are where people come to sample the waters of Bath for their health, they are served by attendants and people are encouraged to walk slowly up and down the elegant rooms as they drink the water as a form of gentle exercise. People also come here to socialise a lot and also attached to the Pump rooms are the famous Roman baths and saunas for rest, relaxation, pleasure and health.
Sydney Gardens Sydney Gardens, owned by the Cavendish family, but leased to Bath city council for public domain, is perhaps the prettiest part of Bath. The gardens are elegant, filled with flowers and delicate conservatories filled with exotic plants. There is a small lake at the centre covered in an elaborate Grecian bridge and a small Roman temple can be found at the centre. It is a place of beauty, grace and peace. Fashionable young ladies often come here, as do courting couples.
Southset Abbey (12 sub-boards) On the outskirts of the town stands Southset Abbey, built in the fourteenth century and added to only where needed. It is in the centre of a giant park that is not open to public access. The abbey now belongs to Lord Domanic Alastair and his family. He is a retired major general and lives in the large, gothic, grey- bricked building with his wife, Lady Emmaline.
Rossdale Court (14 sub-boards) A handsomely situated home done in the popular grecian architecture, Rossdale Court is the home of Count Darian Barlow. The house is not the biggest in Camden Place, but is very much admired for its grand and elegant design. A grey-brick paved drive flocked by French-style gardens on either side leads one to the entrance, which is situated below Greek gods and goddesses looking down on visitors.
Sir Domanic Alastair's Office Sir Domanic Alastair, war hero and newly decorated Lieutenant general, takes a lot of important meetings in his office, normally one to one with other officers, welcomes new ones and dispatches old ones and spends a lot of time writing reports to the government to keep them informed of the state of the army in Bath.
