As Bath great & good segway from firework season into the season of performatively celebrating veterans, who is thinking of the impact of fireworks on growing numbers of people in our city who are traumatised by fireworks - adults & kids alike?

And you can hear more about the Bristol Bus Boycott at a talk in Bath on Monday evening, 6 October at @BRLSI on Queen Square!
On a damp spring morning in 1963, Bristol’s buses rolled through the city half-empty. Passengers stayed away. The boycott had begun. At its heart was a young youth worker named Paul Stephenson. #blackhistorymonth

We must be the coolest outdoor green space in Bath (did we tell you we have a Roman Sarcophagus built into our wall?) but yet again @ccbathnes & @bathscape have left us off one of their maps.
If your organisation could provide a cool space for people to rest in hot weather now or in the future, register on our new Indoor Cool Spaces Directory. A new Outdoor Spaces Map also shows local greenspaces where you can stop & rest in the heat👇 https://t.co/eh6dwywtpQ

The work on our collapsed wall is nearing completion. A huge thank you to the incredible stonemasons who painstakingly reinstated our broken Roman Sarcophagus before completing the wall above. We're so looking forward to no more visitors asking 'But where's the sarcophagus? '!

No 39 (Gold medal) #JaneAusten Camden Place - 29 references - all in Persuasion and the place the Elliots rent in Bath. The Elliots had in turn rented out the family home to Admiral Croft – his wife being Captain Wentworth’s brother, but unaware of his past association with Anne.
