Bath - Widcombe

Widcombe and Bath increased in size during the 18th and 19th centuries, so Late Georgian villas and terraces were built to accommodate the families of the middle classes and retired officers who flocked to the area. The 19th century also brought commerce, industry, travel and employment to Widcombe. This meant the Kennet and Avon Canal in 1810, Brunel's Great Western Railway in 1841 and the Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway in 1874
