Bath - Pulteney Bridge

The charming Pulteney Bridge spanning the River Avon was built by Robert Adam for Sir William Pulteney in about 1770, prior to Pulteney's development of the east bank. The bridge, with three arches and lined on either side with little shops, opens onto the dignified rows of neo-Classical houses in Great Pulteney Street.

The bridge's historical significance is that it led to further development across the river.
