n LOCAL HISTORY Punts, skiffs and messing about on the river: a brief history of the Bath Boating Station
By Harry Mottram: They fell out over tin openers, clashed with steam powered cruisers and together with their dog, Montmorency, George, Harris and ‘J’ embarked on a rowing expedition up the River Thames to Oxford that encapsulates to this day the joys and sogginess of rowing for pleasure on a river.

Published in 1889 Jerome K. Jerome’s Three Men in a Boat still reads well today with its jokes and misadventures and continues to be dramatised on stage, screen and audio.
One of the reasons it was a best seller from the first print run was that it captured a new found enthusiasm for boating amongst the public in a Victorian age that was seeing greater leisure time.
In Terry Hardick’s excellent book the Illustrated History of the Bath Boating Station we see photographs of Victorian and Edwardian gents in waistcoats and straw hats posing by the Bath Boating Station looking like bit characters in Three Men in a

Boat.
The Bath Boating Station continues to hire out punts, skiffs and rowing boats as well as offering accommodation in the riverside amenity.
From the boathouse there’s roughly two or more miles of the River Avon from Cleveland Bridge to Bathampton to navigate. The boat house came about following the construction of the Bathwick Bridge in 1827 (later the Cleveland Bridge) which ended the ferry service across the river.
The boating station was established soon after and by 1841 was known as Aust’s Tea and pleasure Gardens run by the Austs but by later in the century the Maynards and Fisher families who were in control of the now growing boat house in size.
By the late 19th century the Bath Amateurs’ rowing club had been formed in 1861 with the Avon County Rowing Club formed later and the Bath Ladies Rowing Club established in 1911.
By 1888 the boating house had expanded to include all mod cons including lockers, showers and a bar and with regular regattas on the river it was the hey day of the station.
The First World War of 1914-18 was to see large numbers of troops arrive in the area with not too much to do - so hiring a boat from the boathouse became very popular.
The same was to happen in World war 2 with many Americans enjoying the same recreation including swimming in the River Avon. And the station is still there so pop along and mess about on the river.
Road trod by Romans - but you need oxygen to ascend it
By Harry Mottram: On a bicycle it
takes about 39 seconds to descend but on foot to go up Holloway carrying shopping and possibly pushing a pram - allow up to 30 minutes.
Holloway connecting Bear Flat with St Mark’s Road and in previous times the bridge over the Avon where the bus station is not for the faint hearted.
The heart attack inducing Holloway is one of the most ancient routes into Bath flanking Beechen Cliff and commanding views of the city - and is usually ascribed to the Romans as part of the Fosse Way or the Via di Aqua Sulia as I prefer to call it.
In Rosemarie Sutcliffe’s novel The Eagle of the Ninth the Roman soldiers trudge their way along the Empire’s trunk road and must have shuddered at the 1 in 3 steepness of Holloway (to use old money).
It is generally thought that the name ‘Holloway’ derives from the way the road became hollowed out by rain and traffic which sounds likely.

The tribute to thirsty and desperate horses on a hill to leave anyone gasping: Holloway
Whether it was derived from the ‘Holy Way’ relating to the pilgrimage route to Glastonbury, or ‘Haul Way’ as used by John Wood the elder, well these seem like later inventions.
Apparently until the 1950s the Holloway was referred to as ‘The Fosse’ or ‘Fosse Way’, - so I rest my case.
Historians believe that the Fosse Way split at Odd Down, one road heading down to a ford at Twerton, (or two fords) the other down to a bridge in Bathwick. Old photos show houses lining the road on either side - and it was once the place to live in pre-Georgian times as it was away from the old city and its smells and on a popular road where business with passing traffic was
possible. You can still see the once well appointed buildings of old in the shape of the Chapel of Saint Mary Magdalen and the adjoining Magdalen House and Paradise House with its Venetian-style windows built in1735. Holloway Turnpike was established at Bear Flat in the mid-1770s at the summit of the newly constructed Wells Road, nearby the Bear Inn and Holloway Brewery. In 1793 the trustees of the Bath Turnpike Roads called a meeting to consider an extra toll for wagons carrying quarried stone that were causing excessive damage to the road surfaces. Half way up there is (or rather was) a horse trough placed there to quench the thirsts of our four legged friends. And there was an annual fair on Bear Flat that continued into the 19th century. Now that’s something that should be restored in Bear Flat - along with oxygen canisters at the top to help weary shoppers.

n TRIBUTES TO THE QUEEN

Princess Elizabeth at the Royal Bath & West Show in Cardiff, 1948 - Credit: The Royal Bath & West Show By Harry Mottram: Last month the nation said goodbye to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II when she died at the age of 96 at her home in Balmoral in Scotland.
Her son Charles is now King Charles III and has taken over as the head of state of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and monarch to a number of nations from Australia to St Lucia.
In Bath many people and groups wished to pay their respects to the late Queen. Apart from the great and good, the council, the MP and other political leaders many in the city expressed their thoughts at this poignant time.
The Palladian Academy Trust which is in charge of Oldfield Park Infants and Junior Schools tweeted: “It’s with great sadness that we hear of the passing of HM Queen Elizabeth II and we send our deepest condolences to The Royal Family and our new King who loved her so dearly.
“A much admired lady who lived a life of service to our country. May she rest in peace.”
Bath Rugby tweeted: “Bath Rugby mourns with the nation. The thoughts of everyone at the club are with the Royal Family.”
Bath City FC tweeted: “The thoughts of everyone at Bath City are with the Royal Family.”
Bear Flat Cricket Club posted on FaceBook: “Members of Bear Flat Cricket Club are saddened by the death of The Queen and they send heartfelt condolences to King Charles III and to members of the Royal Family.”
The RUH also tweeted a message: “Message from Alison Ryan, Chair, and Cara Charles-Barks, Chief Executive: On behalf of all at the RUH, we are grateful to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for her dedicated years of public service and our thoughts are with her family at this time.”
And the police also paid tribute with the Chief Constable Sarah Crew saying: “We are deeply saddened by the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Her devotion and extraordinary public service have been a continual source of pride and inspiration to us all.
“On behalf of our officers, police staff and volunteers, we offer our heartfelt condolences to the Royal Family, as well as to the public we serve at this time of national mourning. “Now is the time for communities to come together for a period of remembrance and reflection, as we pay our respects to a monarch who has faithfully and stoically served us during her historic reign.” Writing on the Bath and Proud Facebook site Tracey Elizabeth posted a poem with the last two lines: “How steadfast and strong a woman you were and we love you for all you gave, “As Paddington Bear sits alone tonight with his bread and marmalade The Union Flag flew at half-mast at the Bath Guildhall, Keynsham Memorial Gardens and Midsomer Norton Library and Information Service as a mark of respect. Cllr Shaun Stephenson-McGall, Chair of the Council, said: “As well as being a respected figurehead locally, nationwide and worldwide, we must remember that at heart, HM Queen Elizabeth II was a much-loved wife, mother, grandmother and greatgrandmother. “And it is with her family that our thoughts lie at this difficult time. We hope and pray that they will find comfort and strength in each other and through our own words of respect and remembrance.” A book of condolence was opened in the Guildhall. The MP Wera Hobhouse said: “The Queen represented duty and courage, as well as warmth and compassion. She was a living reminder of our collective past, of the greatest generation and their sacrifices for our freedom.” Voices for Life, the Bath and district not for profit group inspiring children to be happy and confident through music said: “Our thoughts are with her family. In her memory, we share our song of hope, We are Every Child, written by Francis Faux and Jamila Gavin for the Jubilee.” Bath Conservatives, the Bath Green Party and the local Labour Party all expressed their sadness at the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.

n RESTAURANT REVIEW Italian - just like madre used to cook - well maybe
By Harry Mottram: Just a few steps from Bath’s busy Milsom Street is Bosco Pizzeria - which is where we stopped for lunch one September afternoon.
We took a table outside although there was plenty of space indoors and ordered - what else - pizzas.
However I also ordered a starter in the form of arancini - Italian risotto rice balls infused with cheese - which came piping hot coated with breadcrumbs and deep fried, and filled with rice.
Actually I had no idea what they would be so as always in all matters of cuisine I deferred to my wife Linda who being half Italian and an excellent cook of all things from the land of Fiats and Vespas is the expert.
Apparently they originated from the far south of Italy or so I understand - but they were fabulous. Hot, crispy but also so soft inside with its mix of cheesy rice.
Which meant of course they were quickly devoured although Linda insisted on tasting them and she gave them the thumbs up in true Imperial style.
She chose a mushroom pizza (funghi, cremini mushrooms, porcini, fior di latte mozzarella, mascarpone, white truffle oil and parmesan) which was superb - well that was my verdict having taken a slice of Linda’s pizza.
Again she gave it full marks - they cook their pizzas in Bosco Pizzeria in a pizza oven - a thin base with a thick border which is slightly singed from the fire.
I wish I had gone for the mushroom one as I opted for pizza bosco (fior di latte mozzarella, parmesan, tomato & basil) for what was essentially a margherita pizza - and all I will say it wasn’t as good as Linda’s home made pizzas. Slightly too much tomato and a bit bland.
However Linda was quite happy with the service and food and sitting in the courtyard on a sunny day was very pleasant - particularly as you could eavesdrop on the conversations all around you. Plus it was her birthday so I was paying so all seemed OK at £30.70 including a Coke and a lemonade. And there was a steady stream of people popping in on the off chance of a table but were turned away due to being fully booked apparently.
The next day was our 40th wedding anniversary so I said we’d try another Italian restaurant. This time it was down the River Avon to Avonmouth, turn left and arrive at La Marina in Portishead - which sits on the harbour edge overlooking the lock gates to the marina and the Bristol Channel.
Of course we didn’t paddle down the river in a canoe but parked by the cricket pitch and walked through the woods by Battery Point to the restaurant.
La Marina was very busy but we secured a table outside - excellent for people watching - and ordered a pot of tea.
It should have been wine but I was driving and Linda rarely drinks. I chose pasta and Linda chose fish. Sea bass with risotto rice, vegetables and potatoes while I had penne pasta with spicy sausage.
At £35.86 including the tea, it was a Ruby Wedding well spent.

A little unconventional I know at La Marina - tea and pasta, fish and potatoes and rice - plus vegetables - all tap quality - definitely go there again - maybe for the golden wedding

Adult Fiction
True Crime Story – Joseph Knox
This is a very original and innovative crime story and I do not want to give too much away but there are many twists and turns and utterly believable. The main story is that in the early hours of a cold December night in Manchester, 19-year-old student, Zoe Nolan walks out of a party and is not seen again. She was to remain one of the dreadful statistics of a missing person, until seven years later, writer Evelyn Mitchell finds herself drawn into the story. She interviews Zoe’s family and friends who knew her – well they thought they knew her. Zoe’s story becomes more complex and events surrounding her last night more inconsistent. This is a fast-paced book, with adult themes but a very clever take on the crime genre.
Alchemy and Rose – Sarah Maine
This is a beautiful historical novel set initially in New Zealand. It is 1866 and Will Stewart has landed in New Zealand looking for adventure and in particular gold. It is harsh conditions, but he is determined to push on. Next Rose arrives on the South Island when a storm hits. The ship is wrecked and Will risks his life to save her. They stay together and for a while their future appears secured. However like all good fiction their happiness is broken and they separate. Will chases Rose across oceans and continents in desperate race to see her again and confront the man who took her. An evocative story that sweeps across from New Zealand, Melbourne to Scotland, with great historical detail about life in a gold rush town
Time’s Convert – Deborah Harkness
The Discovery of Witches books and TV series is incredibly popular and Deborah Harkness has continued with all the wonderful characters in those books, but instead focuses on Matthew’s son – Marcus Whitmore. Marcus Whitmore has been a vampire for over two hundred year and now finds himself hopeless in love with a human, Phoebe Taylor. She feels the same and now embarks on a different path and decides to become a vampire so she can spend entirety with Marcus. As part of her

transformation, Phoebe and Marcus must separate for a number of months which proves very difficult. So as Marcus sulks around with Matthew and his, now wife Diana, he opens up about his past and his first meeting with Matthew Whitmore. So the story moves to the American wars of independence to revolutionary France and so begins a thrilling adventure. As with all of the series of Discovery of Witches, the author has created a magical world with complex characters. This is an unconventional love story and a must for all Deborah Harkness fans.
