Bath Fire and Royal Visit Stir Public Life
A chaotic night in Bath saw houses breached by fire and flood as crowds fled to safety. Meanwhile Prince of Wales and Princess Charlotte visited Bath, receiving thanks for royal generosity and planning future tours and hospital funding. Citizens crowded the Pump Room and Hay’s lodging as the royal party departed for London, with 1000 guineas donated to the infirmary and timber support pledged for hospital floors. A public arrest at Cooper’s Hall followed a shoplift case, and theatre listings closed the day with Drury Lane and Covent Garden performances.
