Bridgerton Haunted Locations.. Bath To celebrate the release of Bridgerton Series 2, I am featuring some haunted hotspots on the sites in Bath where Bridgerton was filmed..

Mainly series 1, as due to the overwhelming success of the first season, filming for Season 2 was sneakily done in May last year just at the Holburne Museum (Lady Danburys House)

Abbey Green and Abbey Street ~ Bath This little area has a lot going on in the Bridgerton World. Its the location of the Modiste, where everyone gets their dresses from, No 2 Abbey Street, also known as Elton House, part of Abbey Green, currently a deli called Pickled Greens. Interestingly according to records, there was a hosier and haberdashers there in the mid 1700s, and a corset maker in 1846. Also a bootmaker called Wallace, no relation to me, I dont think....

Also the apartment of Anthony Bridgertons lover Siena is next door at No 3. Actual Abbey Green, the quaint cobbled circular street, is where Penelope & Eloise would stroll and chat around the market, also used for some night scenes. At the bottom of Abbey Green is the archway, where the Duke of Hastings falls down drunk after drowning his sorrows.

Hauntings- There is the Crystal Palace Pub on Abbey Green, which is reported to be haunted. Previously known as The Three Tuns in the 1600's In 1984, the landlord discovered several skeletons and a Roman mosaic floor , this spot was a Roman Villa as there is another floor at the back discovered in 1814. Several dark hooded monk like figures have been sighted here and a figure is said to materialise whenever building work is carried out and it has also been known to rattle empty glasses too. As well as the story of the naked Roman legionary who runs between the Abbey & the pub. Often, witnesses have seen this naked man, loping between the abbey and the Crystal Palace. Police with others have pursued this elusive creature. They reported a metamorphosis during the pursuit. In the first case, it loses its solid form, becoming a misty substance. Its shape quickly becomes cloudy with grey when it reaches Abbey Green, disappears. Also a tragic murder took place just around the corner outside what was Evans chip shop, in the 1980's Photo Source- Freshford com

To celebrate the release of Bridgerton today, I will be featuring a few of the locations used in the filming, I am working on a feature of a Bridgerton/ Paranormal nature, so watch this space!

This is Lady Danburys Home. The Holburne Museum - Bathwick - Bath Since 1916 the Museum has been housed in the former Sydney Hotel at the end of Great Pulteney Street. The original design for the Hotel, prepared by Thomas Baldwin in 1794, was a two-storey building which would serve the pleasure gardens, known as Sydney Gardens, laid out by Baldwin beyond. The gardens remain the only remaining eighteenth-century pleasure gardens (or Vauxhall) in the country. After Baldwin was bankrupted his design for the hotel was not implemented. Instead a three-storey building was designed by Charles Harcourt Masters. The foundation stone was laid in 1796 and the building was ready by 1799. Visitors entered the gardens through the Hotel. It has been used as a location for many films & tv series, most recently seen in Bridgerton as Lady Danburys house. Hauntings - Reputed to be haunted by a little boy.. Has anyone heard any other stories?
