In a city famed for its Georgian buildings, many of the towers in Bath celebrate the Victorian period, when the revival of Gothic architectural style led to the city skyline being punctuated with new spires and smoking chimneys.
Twentieth century Bath saw new towers being added to the city but many of the early towers were also lost, destroyed in 1942 during the Second World War bombing of Bath.
