@imperidox_: Haunting Echoes of Bath's Past: The Asylum on Gay's Hill Bath's ghost signs whisper secrets of a forgotten era. One of the most intriguing is on Gay's Hill, where a sign on Gay's House reads, "Asylum for teaching young females household work." Originally a late 18th-century dower house for the Rivers-Gay family, it transformed in 1819 into a refuge for "unprotected females," teaching girls domestic skills to escape poverty. Despite efforts, the asylum closed in 1832. Some girls found work; others faced illness or mysterious expulsions. Today, the sign remains, a haunting reminder of the city's shadowy Georgian past. #HistoryTime #historytok #historyfacts #historylesson #historyfacts #historytour #historygeek #historychannel #historylovers #historytiktok #historyteacher #historynerd #tourguide #tourguidelife
