Somerset Place (Bath)

Somerset Place (Bath)

Somerset Place is a Georgian Grade I listed crescent in Bath, England. The facades were designed by the architect John Eveleigh who went bankrupt during the building, which started in 1790 but was not completed until the 1820s. Some of the crescent was destroyed during the Second World War and rebuilt as student accommodation in the 1950s and 60s.

As of 2005, it forms part of the campus of Bath Spa University, although it has now [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/somerset/4253516.stm] been sold. It is used for student accommodation and the Bath Spa University English Language Programme.
