This beautiful painting by Paul Methuen shows Catharine Place (just behind the Royal Crescent) and the edge of Margaret's Buildings (home to Berdoulat, Uber and The Green Bird café). It was painted some time in the 1940s, after the large house on the left had been rebuilt following the Bath Blitz but before the street behind it (Circus Mews) was rebuilt. Paul Methuen was a kind and philanthropic person: 'Four years after the destruction of the premises of the Bath School of Art in 1942, he  offered Corsham Court as the Bath School of Art; now it is used by Bath Spa University..'
