Here bubbles up one of Bath’s smaller hot springs. By about 1700 the Cross Bath was ’the bathing place of pleasure’. More private than the King’s Bath, it was favoured by the beau monde. Musicians serenaded noted beauties from one of its galleries, while spectators admired them from the other. That was in an earlier building. This Georgian gem went up towards the end of the century. Its luscious curves billow out into the half-moon end of Bath Street.
