It’s a landmark building in historic Sydney Gardens.
Minerva’s Temple by A J.Taylor – built to promote Bath at the Empire Exhibition – held in the Crystal Palace at Sydenham, London in 1911.
It was re-erected here in 1913-14 to commemorate the Bath Historical Pageant at Royal Victoria Park in 19909 – which included a wooden replica of the Temple of Sulis Minerva.

An inspired re-use of an exhibition building but one – like the landscape around it – that reflects the lack of money in this city.
It is – like the parkland that surrounds it – in need of some financial ‘tlc’.
