Royal Crescent is a residential road in Bath, England, laid out in a crescent. It is famous for the 30 townhouses designed by architect John Wood the Younger, that forms a crescent skirting the road. The townhouses were erected between 1767 and 1774, and stand today as one of the most outstanding examples of Georgian architecture in the United Kingdom.

The houses were originally known as just The Crescent. The "Royal" adjective came about after Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany, stayed there at numbers 1 and 16, during the end of the 18th century. No. 1, Royal Crescent is today a museum maintained by the Bath Preservation Trust showcasing the lifestyle in the late 18th century. No. 16 has been combined with No. 15 to form a boutique hotel.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
