To be Victorian was, it seems, to be arsenicated. The poison was in everything: used as a dye in textiles, wallpaper and even children's toys, added to sweets and foodstuffs, employed to dip sheep and as an insecticide on fruit. It even found its way into beer. It was made into medicines (some of which remained in use well into the 20th century). It was also, of course, used by murderers and would be murderers (perhaps its most familiar role to us). Here is the Chemical Works house of the city, which traces the history of arsenic and its use in Aquae Sulis, including the struggles of forensic chemists to develop tests. The price of progression may well indeed be the agonies inflicted by arsenic poisoning. Scheele's Green is a dye which produced a lovely green colour on items like wallpaper, the fumes from which could be very debilitating and on occasion fatal. Here is where trials and producsts are maintained, amid a massive wood-frame set of buildings which date to the 1850s and most prominently includes a large three-story brick warehouse built only in 1878. A wood-frame office building stands across from the main complex near to the river, and a series of duplexes built as worker housing line its south-facing side.
