My 5 in 5 photographs for July were taken in Walcot Street in Bath where I went to meet a friend for lunch.
Walcot Street follows the course of the Fosse Way, an ancient Roman Road which linked Exeter to Lincoln. Interestingly the Fosse Way passes through the town where I live, years ago I often used to walk my dog along the pathway. The modern day Fosse Way now follows the A37. If you are interested in the Fosse Way visit this site here for more information.
At the top of Walcot Street is St Swithins, this church was built in 1777, and has been added to over the years. Worship has taken place on the site since 971 AD. We had a look inside the church before enjoying a delicious lunch at the church.

I'm so glad that you found your post sitting in your draft box Barbara! I loved the photos and the interesting information about the Fosse Way and Walcott Street. One of my favorite things is to visit new places and to find out about them so Idid enjoy this post. Hope you had a nice time with your friend.
ReplyDeleteInteresting photos. Walcot St is a street that I have driven down many times but never really explored.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great jaunt out - thanks for taking us along.
ReplyDeleteI've been to Bath before but only for a day. It's a very beautiful and interesting city. I'd love to go back one day with my family and do a bit more exploring. Thanks for visiting my blog. Hope you're having a lovely week. Marion
