Old Curiosity Shoppe of a Museum by pedersdottir
A city as elegant as Bath simply could not function without the services of tradesmen and workers. The MUSEUM OF BATH AT WORK is dedicated to telling the story of brick makers and bread bakers, corseters, chair manufacturers and makers of fizzy pop, the 'little people' who kept the gentry afloat. The heart of the collection is the reassambled shop, office and machine room of the J.B. Bowler Company "established in 1864" and commercially connected to every concern in the city.Built in 1776 as a Real Tennis Court, the building that houses the museum is very easy to miss. Look instead for the square bell tower of Christ Church, which fronts Julian Road at Rivers Street. Walk around to the rear courtyard - and enter into a world of "Two Thousand Years of Earning a Living". Hours are April 1 to October 31, 10:30 am to 4:00 pm daily. (November 1 to March 31, weekends only). Phone: (01225) 318348
