Join Dr Molly Conisbee (University of Bath) for a free and fascinating walking tour exploring some of Bath’s lesser known hidden histories. Recounting instances of illness, death, crime and more, this walk will take you to some of the best known city landmarks while also shedding some light on the less ‘glossy’ history of the city. Learn about the history of Bog Island, the consequences of being poor in the nineteenth century, and some of Bath's most notorious murder cases.

Brought to you by the Centre for Death and Society, University of Bath as part of the centre's 20th anniversary year of celebration

You are also most welcome to join the walk’s creators for a free talk directly afterwards (7-8pm) held at Widcombe Social Club (full details can be found in the festival programme, sign up separately for the talk)
