I’ve just acquired a copy of Joseph Gilmore’s map of Bath in 1694 (http://www.bathintime.co.uk/image/681221/the-city-of-bath-gilmore-1694) and, having always been interested in the history of Bath’s pubs since reading several of Kirsten Elliotts books, I noticed that the Gilmore map has a list of Bath pubs and hostelries trading at the time of publication (spellings left as per original list);
Cheap St – The Bear, The 3 Crowns and Scepter
High St – The Christopher, The Katherine Wheel, The Noble Science, The Grey Hound, The Unicorn, The White Lion and The Kings Arms
By The Hott Bath – The George
Westgate St – The Angell, The White Swan, The Golden Ball
Staule St – The White Hart, The New Inn, The Three Tuns and The Bell
Southgate St – The Plume of Feathers and The Rose & Crown
Without North Gate – The Three Horseshoes, The Three Cupps
Broad St – The Black Swan
Walcot St – The Cock and Bull
Maybe the next new pub to open in Bath should look back at the past when searching for a name!
