A picture of Bath, a Historic City in the county of Somerset

Pulteney Bridge in Bath, was designed in 1769 by the famous architect Robert Adam who was comissioned to do so by William Pulteney. Pulteney's purpose for the bridge was to link the city centre with Bathwick on the far side of the river Avon, where his wife had inherited land. Robert Adam is believed to have been inspired by the Ponte Vecchio in Florence, where shops also line both sides of the street. Pulteney Bridge leads into Great Pulteney Street, Bath's most magnificent residential area.
