Find out about life in Georgian Bath
The Bath Chronicle has been a feature of life in Bath since 1760. Newspapers from the past, with their news articles, advertisements and notices, give us a fascinating insight into life at different periods and provide information that can’t be found elsewhere.
Thanks to the hard work of a team of volunteers, you can now search selected Georgian Bath Chronicle newspapers between 1770 and 1799. The contents were hand-indexed, thus minimising the errors that are common in computer-scanning of newspapers from this era. Not all papers in this date range were indexed as the project was ended before it could be completed.
The results are shown as a summary of the newspaper entry. It does not show the complete text of the entry. If you wish a copy of an item, please request a copy following these instructions. Confirmation of the costs will be made before your order is finalised.

Notes on searching the database:
The project, which has now come to an end, was run entirely by volunteers under the leadership of the editor, Dr Donald Straughan, also a volunteer.
