Pulteney Bridge
Pulteney Bridge is an 18th-century bridge over the River Avon in Bath, on Bridge Street, lined with small shops along both sides.
Why go
Pulteney Bridge crosses the River Avon in the centre of Bath, on Bridge Street. Visit Bath, the city's official tourism site, says it was built in 1769 by the architect Robert Adam, opened in 1770, and is named after Frances Pulteney, wife of William Johnstone Pulteney, who planned a 'new town' on the east side of the city. The same page lists classical Georgian architecture, small shops lining both sides and a narrow roadway, says restaurants and independent shops are on the bridge itself, and says boat trips leave from the bridge upriver to Bathampton. Wikidata types it a road bridge. This record is the bridge, not its shops as separate premises.
