The location, conditions and remaining footprint of the courts where poorer people lived will be looked at, as well as a range of influences, such as the “Gin Craze”, electric lighting and art deco. The role of some key Tauntonians will be discussed, including a man who designed an iconic American building. Walking duration approximately 2hrs. The tour will start at the Museum of Somerset.
