Modern shopfront within colonnade, above shallow round headed recess with garlands, paired pilasters below band, partly mutilated by insertion of six/six sash window. The blind feature on the south wall was intended to mirror a like feature on the north wall of the Grand Pump Room. Parapet, roof pent against ashlar stack with pots, flat topped dormer. INTERIOR: Not inspected. HISTROY: The design of No.3 is a part of Baldwin's scheme for the complete replanning of this area of the City following the Bath Improvement Act of 1789, and as such forms part of this highly important Neoclassical remodelling of the city centre. It forms a group with Nos.6-14 Abbey Churchyard. This shop was for many years a tobacconist.
