Museum of Bath Stone bath

Interesting museum shows the building of Bath and it's stone and mines

Small museum telling how Combe Down stone built the World Heritage City of Bath as Ralph Allen, an entrepreneur, who worked with John Wood the Elder owned the quarries. Friendly staff. They're still working on their collection, but if you're interested in industrial heritage then go. Nice Deli nearby and it's close to the Jewish Burial Ground and the National Trust gardens at Prior Park.

Don't go twice...

A wonderful and thought out museum. An absolute hidden gem. Definitely worth a visit. Lots to learn about the history of Bath stone. Located in combe down, a lovely museum with lovely staff.

Could easily have spent and marvelled at the hard work of the original miners and then at the wisdom and ingenuity of the engineers and Welsh miners to solve and secure a tragedy waiting in an unknown time scale, to happen to an untold number of very unsuspecting people and the destruction of property which to my mind would have run in to untold millions, which would have made the remedial sum eventually paid out to stop the catastropy seem like peanuts, for the best part of one or maybe more days Chris Fitzpatrick, Builder.
