I went on a visit to the city of Bath with my U3A group. Such an interesting city, steeped in history.
The Circus has three crescents like this one, with three streets between the three crescents. It's very geometrical, symmetrical and impressive.
Much of the architecture in Bath is Georgian, 1714-1837, the reigns of George I, II, III, and IV and all of it is built from this lovely Bath stone.
What exactly is a 'circus' in this context? Is it just a traffic circle or what one might call a roundabout or does it need to have other features to make it a 'circus'?
@gardencat Hi Joanne. In this case circus just means round. Imagine a complete circle of these houses, then imagine the circle of houses divided into three equal segments and between each segment there's a road going to different parts of the city. That's The Circus, Bath. In the middle there are some huge trees but apparently they wouldn't have been there in Georgian times. Try googling Bath UK.
