There is and I love Bath and its architecture.
Bath is very different though in like Edinburgh (and Birkenhead) its Georgian buildings are part of a grand masterplan whereas Liverpool's are more organic. I would say that London's and Dublin's Georgian streets are more comparable to ours because they like Liverpool's are all about spec building by developers who used catalogues to build houses that supposedly reflected good taste (they do IMHO). Bath is more about John Wood's meglomania and obsession with ancient British paganism, Classicism and related ideals. Stunning though. I love liverpools Georgioan (and Georgian style) buildings for the variation of size, scale and uses of the buildings that follow a basic ideal and pattern but allow difference within. Something that cant really be done when everything is planned anmd designed by one architect (and his son)
Just my opinion of course.
Other Georgian rich cities Bath, Bristol, Edinburgh, Dublin
