Milsom Street

Milsom Street in Bath, Somerset, England, was built in 1762 by Thomas Lightholder.

The buildings were originally grand townhouses, but most are now used as shops, offices and banks.

[3] The bank at number 24 was built by Wilson and Willcox and includes baroque detail not seen on the other buildings.

[1] The Octagon Chapel was a place of worship,[2] then a furniture shop by Mallett Antiques.

[6] As a fashionable Georgian thoroughfare, Milsom Street is quoted in several of the works of Jane Austen, including Northanger Abbey and Persuasion.
