About this audio guide
This guide to the Jane Austen Centre on Gay Street in Bath follows Jane Austen through her Bath years, from the winter her father announced he was leaving the ministry to the addresses the family rented in the city. It touches on Georgian Bath itself, the terraces John Wood the Elder and his son laid out, and an unfinished novel about a clergyman's daughters. Best heard on the pavement outside, looking up the street toward the Circus.
