Description: | The New or Upper Assembly Rooms were built to a design by John Wood the Younger, after a more expensive plan by Robert Adam had been rejected. As the new and fashionable Upper Town had grown in the mid-18th century, the 1708 assembly rooms (also known as the Lower Rooms) were regarded as insufficient. The New Assembly Rooms contained a large tea room, an elegant ballroom and an octagonal card room. It became the hub of social life in Georgian Bath. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Publisher: | T Malton; J Gandon | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Gandon, J | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
