Another day, another Bath. Our aim today was to find the Royal Crescent and for Penny to perform her rendition of "Who will Buy" from the musical Oliver. We did find the Crescent , however it turns out that the Royal Crescent in the film was actually a set built at Shepparton Studios and not the original, Penny performed anyway!
Came upon the Royal Gardens, had been taken over by a motley crew to Occupy Bath and was full of tents. Not sure they will achieve much here in Bath, not exactly a financial hub!
Some of the Georgian architecture of Bath
the Royal Crescent
Several of the houses in the Crescent had famous owners with plaques on the outside, here's one, school for scandal no doubt.......
oh, and here's the performance, and jolly good it was too.......
