Name that place.

Richard Wyatt,

The shopkeepers of Bartlett Street – heading up towards the Assembly Rooms – cleverly utilised the old Evans and Owens sign across their pedestrian through-way to give themselves a sense of collective identity.

This once bore the name of the store alongside – namely ‘Evans and Owen’ – and now promotes all the traders there.

We need similar signs at the entrance to Walcot Street and also Northumberland Place. One promoting the city’s Artisan Quarter and the other the Bath ‘Lanes.’

What does it take to get this city moving again?
