Former circulating library, Milsom Street, Bath
Milsom Street seems to have been the location of several libraries and reading-rooms in the C17 and C18, among them Godwin's, Tennent's, and Marshall's (whose subscribers included two princes, five dukes, four duchesses, seven earls, fourteen countesses, many other nobles and forty-three knights, and whose stock ran to 25,000 volumes), but I haven't ascertained whose premises these (at number 43) were. It is currently a clothes shop.

Ghost sign, Milsom Street, Bath (1)
At no. 43. It reads, "CIRCULATING LIBRARY AND READING ROOM", and, between the first-floor windows, "BOOKSELLERS/BINDERS/AND/STATIONER/STATE/LOTTERY/OFFICE", and is, so says the building's listing, "a fairly rare survival, and of interest".
Possibly early C19th, or could it even be late C18th?

47 Milsom Street, Bath
A stately front of c1780, by Thomas Baldwin, restored and altered in 1908 and in 1995 (mostly affecting the ground floor). The central bay is framed by Ionic columns and a pediment, the columns flattening into pilasters in the outer bays. A fluted frieze containing paterae crowns the second floor. Grade II listed.
Judging by the carved panel above the door, it has been a branch of Lloyd's Bank for some years.

North along Milsom Street, Bath
The architecture seems to be a mix of Georgian and neo-classical. A nice example of 19th or early 20th century advertising can be seen on the façade of the building nearer the viewpoint promoting the long-gone presence of a Circulating Library and Reading Room, Bookseller, Binder and Stationer, and a State Lottery Office. It is now occupied by 'Jamie's Italian', a restaurant owned by the celebrity chef Jamie Oliver. I was told to leave when I asked for turkey twizzlers.
