Memories of Jane Austen


 


She lived in Bath and wrote many novels here
She walked across the city
Her novel "Persuasion" is set here


The "Assembly halls" where balls were held





The Octagon, probably the last scene of the film
is set here












An exhibition of contemporary postcards


On the way from the Assembly Hall to Jane Austen Centre



These paintings were probably not there in her times





The Jane Austen Centre staff is dressed in contemporary clothes

Tableaus show the family and explain the history - here two suitors, one of whom she refused and the other died prematurely
