About this audio guide
This guide to Camden Crescent in Bath starts at a pair of front doors under five Corinthian columns, on a terrace John Eveleigh began on Beacon Hill in seventeen eighty-eight. It follows the ground beneath it, the craftsmen whose crowded homes once covered the slope below, and the conservators who later climbed up to the blackened stonework with lime mortar and carving tools. Stand facing numbers sixteen and seventeen before you press play.
