 The Empire Hotel was built in 1901 on Orange Grove close to both Bath Abbey and Pulteney Bridge.In the 1920s and 1930s Bath's architectural traditions combined with an art deco style in buildings such as The Forum which opened as a 2,000-seat cinema in 1934, and has since been converted into a church and concert venue.The Royal United Hospital opened in the Weston suburb, about from the city centre in 1932.
