Bath Waters
The Romans were the first people to create a spa at
Bath. A pure water supply is now assured when plans for a renewed spa materialise.
The extensive engineering works undertaken in 1979 to modernise the thermal water supply for a new spa development gave
Professor Cunliffe a unique opportunity to discover how the Roman engineers tackled the problems of controlling the hot springs nearly 2,000 years ago. Excavations under the Pump Room revealed the remains of a great Roman temple precinct dedicated to the goddess of the spring, Sulis Minerva.
To be able to envisage this impressive Roman complex from every angle, Chronicle commissioned a computer model of it. Narrated by Rosalie Crutchley
