Very intresting

I believe that the first group of University students that came to Bath in 1965 were responsible for the first useage of "Bog Island" - we ofter met on or near this island for our evening 'dates' or pub crawls! - as there were lavatories there it became known as "Bog Island" - I cannot remember learning this name from others - so claim first rights? - any other claims?

For god sake, get a real job.

One of the country's great small museums, The Holburne has a wonderfully rich collection of paintings, silver, sculpture, furniture and porcelain, with important works by Gainsborough, Guardi, Stubbs and Turner. The Museum has packed up its collection and is now closed to the public. A development programme of refurbishment and extension is scheduled to be finished by 2010. The scheme designed by Eric Parry Architects is supported by a grant of £4.875 million from the Heritage Lottery Fund. The exciting proposals address all of the problems facing the Museum today and whilst restoring the existing Grade One listed building, will also create a beautiful new building which together will allow the Holburne to flourish as the active, vibrant and engaging Museum that is needs to be.

BUT IT'S OPENING AGAIN, WAHEEEYYY!!!

I am looking for an old friend who attended Bath Technical College during 1978-1980 (I think). Her name is Jackie Hurley or her sister Sandra Hurley. Really eager to see how they are.

Bath Spa railway station is the principal railway station in the city of Bath, in South West England. Architecture Bath Spa station was built in 1840 for the Great Western Railway by Brunel and is a grade II listed building. It is in an asymmetrical Tudor style with curving gables, and lies on the north bank of the Avon, with the line swerving elegantly across from the southern bank to the station and then back again. A convenient characteristic for passengers is that ramps lead up to both platforms, permitting the disabled or those with luggage to have ready access from the platforms to cars or taxis. There is also a footbridge, formerly tolled, leading directly from the station across the Avon and allowing direct access to the village of Widcombe. The large gap between the up and down-lines used to accommodate a through bi-directional line. Services Since the closure of the Midland Region station at Green Park after the Beeching report, all rail services run through Bath Spa. The station is also conveniently situated for connection with bus services. Management Since railway privatisation First Great Western has managed Bath Spa. In 2005 they obtained listed building consent for a number of alterations to the building, including the installation of lifts to the platforms. This is expected to enable them to remove the convenient direct access between the platforms and the car parks. Other stations in Bath The only other open station in Bath is Oldfield Park, a small commuter station in a western suburb, with limited services to Bristol. Other now closed stations in Bath were Green Park (the Midland terminus, of which the the over-all roof and primary buildings survive, and which for most of its life was named "Bath Queen Square") and Weston (a suburban station on the Midland line), and Westmoreland Street (a goods station, the original GWR passenger station, now demolished), and, Twerton-on-Avon, and Hampton Row Halt, both on the GWR route, and both of which closed after WWI.

Excellent music Monday night, Wednesday night and Sunday lunch, excellent selection of real ale and cider and spirits, plus hot drinks, fresh squeezed orange juice and veggie rolls
