Regency and early Victorian Bath is often portrayed as a paragon of refined gentility, yet for many contemporaries the city was synonymous with radicalism and rebellion. Not only were its streets home to rallies and riots; Bath was also the centre of the Chartist movement in the west, and one of Britain’s most militant MPs represented the city in parliament. This walk celebrates Bath’s honourable history of protest and rebellion.
