In 2016, Bath Spa University purchased the former Herman Miller factory in Locksbrook, a modern riverside listed building designed by Nicholas Grimshaw and Farrell & Grimshaw and built in 1976, to become the new home of the Bath School of Art and Design. The building used a flexible movable panel design and won several awards, including the Financial Times Industrial Architecture Award for 1977 and the RIBA South West Award in 1978. Detailed redevelopment plans are being drawn for it to become the new home of the Bath School of Art and Design

If you look carefully, there's a couple of hidden bridges along the footpath; they're overgrown now - Nature will take everything back - but they are there! And then there's this section, which (when looking the other way) has a canal entering the river.
