This is a community website serving the Twerton, Whiteway and Southdown areas of Bath.
The history of Twerton tends to be eclipsed by the focus on Bath’s Georgian and Roman heritage.
This is a shame, as in Twerton a classic industrial revolution history unfolded around the old woollen mill.
These recollections of Twerton as it used to be, come from a recorded conversation with three elderly gents, Dennis, George and Les, in the Old Crown one morning. This is how they answered the questions that I asked, in their own words.
