Smithsons in Bath
Smithsons in Bath - Saturday 1st September 2018 11am to 4pm
Led by Amy Frost
A walk through Bath following one of Peter Smithson’s ‘Walks within the Walls’, published in his 1971 book. This truncated version of ‘Walk 4’ will include Green Park and Queen Square, following Peter Smithson ‘in bumbling about the pavements of Regency Bath’ as his son Simon Smithson describes.
The subsequent tour of Alison and Peter Smithson’s Bath University buildings – set within the RMJM campus masterplan (1965 onwards) – will allow comparison of points of interest from the morning walk with their built work.
Meet at 11am at the junction of Holloway and Wellsway – meet outside Rolfey’s Antique Shop. Buses run regularly from Bath Spa Station up the Wells Road (Bear Flat stop).
Lunch: 1pm - 2.30pm find your own
Finish at 4pm at Bath University
For those travelling by car there is unrestricted parking on the residential streets adjacent to the meeting point, accessed of the east side of the Wellsway. Transport to the university campus is via regular dedicated buses from the town centre. Or you can choose to drive up to the campus following the morning walking tour.
