About this audio guide
This audio guide to the Guildhall in Bath follows Thomas Baldwin, a twenty-five-year-old assistant who stepped into his master's shoes in the autumn of seventeen seventy-five, and the city council whose money and buildings he came to handle. It touches Thomas Warr Attwood, the plumber and former mayor who ran Bath's building works without any formal title, and the making of Great Pulteney Street. Best heard on the High Street, looking up at the figure of Justice on the pediment.
