Regency Places of Interest

Almack's Assembly Rooms

Almack's Assembly Rooms, named after founder William Almack, opened for business on February 13, 1765 in King's Street, St. James, London. There, for a subscription fee of 10 guineas, the fashionable men and women of London could attend a weekly Wednesday night ball with supper during the 3 months that comprised the London social season.

Bath, England

"Fine Balls, and fine Concerts, fine Buildings and Springs, fine Walks, and fine Views, and a thousand fine Things …" ~ Christopher Anstey, The New Bath Guide, 1767.

More on Bath, England

Although the Roman Empire disintegrated in the 5th century C. E., the Bath waters maintained their reputation for healing throughout the Middle Ages. Even though the waters were often described as stinking or dirty, the Baths were still in use during the Renaissance. But by the middle of the 18th century, Bath enjoyed a rebirth as a fashionable resort.

The Circus (Bath, England)

Because John Wood I was interested in Roman architecture and because he knew that Bath had been an earlier Roman city, he designed a number of Roman-style monuments for Bath.

Royal Ascots - the History

It was Queen Anne who first saw the potential for a racecourse at Ascot, which in those days was called East Cote. Whilst out riding in 1711, she came upon an area of open heath, not far from Windsor Castle, that looked an ideal place for "horses to gallop at full stretch."

Tattersalls

In 1766, Richard Tattersall founded the world's first bloodstock auction house.

The Quadrant

The street was designed by Nash to link Regent's Park to the hub of London in Westminster. The area for Regent's Park had been marshy fields known as Marylebone Park up until 1811 when ownership reverted to the crown.

Theatre Royal

Covent Garden Theatre burnt down on 20 September, 1808 and was redesigned by Robert Smirke opening less than a year later on 18 September, 1809.

Eighteenth-Century Resources

These pages cover all the significant and reliable Internet resources I've been able to discover that focus on the (very long) eighteenth century — let's say Milton to Keats. The collection includes information on literature, history, art, music, religion, economics, philosophy, and so on, from around the world, as well as the home pages of societies and people who work on eighteenth-century topics.
