Abstract:		 Oxford Archaeology undertook a programme of historic building recording and investigation into a viaduct which supports the road immediately in front of Camden Crescent in Bath. Only two thirds of the original composition of the viaduct was ever completed. A series of landslides during construction in the late 1780s halted work to the northern third of the crescent and eventually resulted in this section being pulled down due to lack of solid foundation. The viaduct shows much evidence of the instability of the ground and it has clearly had many phases of patching, propping and substantial reconstruction.Construction on Camden Crescent started in c. 1788. A plan of 1852-4 shows a road at the front of Camden Crescent but with a different alignment to that which survives today. The road layout shown on the 1852-4 map would suggest that the entire southern half of the road was realigned between the 1850''s and 1880''s. The non-intrusive ''archaeological'' investigation also suggests this interpretation. The southern end has clearly been reconstructed and is of later date than the adjacent facing wall of the viaduct. The rest of the road probably follows its original layout although most of the vaults have been reconstructed in later 19th or 20th century brick. These vaults rest on older stone sleeper walls which probably survive from the original viaduct. Several vaults in the northern half retain more substantial original elements including partially surviving stone vaults.
