Bath -- Roman Bath<br> Sightseeing in London picture - During the Roman occupation of Britain increasingly grand temples and bathing complexes were built, but after the Roman withdrawal these fell into disrepair and were eventually lost due to silting up. They were rediscovered in the 18th century. The water is now considered unsafe for bathing, due to the still-functioning lead pipes constructed by the Romans. This is the medieval bath structure that was built upon the original Roman Baths.
