	Pulteney Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pulteney Bridge is a bridge that crosses the River Avon, located in Bath, England and completed in 1773.
		Pulteney approached the brothers Robert and William Adam with his new town in mind, but Robert Adam then became involved in the design of the bridge.
		Pulteney Bridge could not be returned to its original form, but it was given back its dignity.

	William Johnstone Pulteney - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The settlements of Bath, Pulteney, Henrietta and Caledonia are evidence of his speculation at the end of the 18th century, through 'The Pulteney Association' an agency run by his agent Charles Williamson.
		Pulteney was also influential in Telford's 1801 appointment to devise a master plan to improve communications in the Highlands of Scotland, a massive project that was to last some 20 years.
		Pulteney died intestate at Bath House in Piccadilly, London, on 30 May 1805, and was buried at Westminster Abbey.

	Pulteney Bridge
		Pulteney Bridge is one of the most admired buildings in a beautiful city.
		At first Pulteney contemplated just a simple, functional bridge, designed by a local architect, but by the summer of 1770 the brothers Adam were involved and the plans had undergone a dramatic change.
		Pulteney Bridge was complete and ready for occupation in late 1773, but tenants were slow to come forward.

	SIR WILLIAM JOHNSTONE PULTENEY
		Pulteney was also a friend and patron of the architect Robert Adam (1728-92), whom he eventually employed to design the world-famous Pulteney Bridge on the Avon, linking the city of Bath with his wife’s undeveloped lands called Bathwick.
		Pulteney later wrote to a friend that he foresaw that an independent America "would soon rival Europe in arts as well as grandeur, and their power in particular would rear itself on the decay of ours." Shortly after the conclusion of the Revolutionary War, he began to invest in bank securities in the United States.
		Pulteney’s demeanor was "austere, serious and socially concerned." In 1788, he exchanged correspondence with James Johnstone of Galabank concerning the possibility and wisdom of abolishing slavery, without injury to trade or navigation.

		The Pulteney Bridge at Bath was built between the years of 1770 and 1773 by the Adam brothers.
		It is one of a few Bath bridges, which were fairly popular at the time, that was lined with shops to attract pedestrians.
		The Pulteney Bridge allowed the modern architecture of closely linked houses to continue over the bridge so as to create a new aesthetic that dismisses the river underneath it.

	Pulteney Bridge
		Pulteney Bridge is one of the most admired buildings in Bath.
		This was entirely rural when it was inherited by Francis Pulteney in October 1767, but its potential was obvious (No other English Spa could rival Bath in this period and the city was in the midst of a building boom).
		In January 1936 the bridge was scheduled as a national monument and restoration planned to restore the original façade.

	Robert Adam - Viaduct across the Low Calton
		The bridge arch is flanked by two smaller, pedestrian, arches in a gigantic triumphal arch motif, with a further lunette arch above the centre arch, at the level of the roadway.
		The bridge abutments are shown with windows, suggesting that Adam intended to construct vaults beneath the approaches, perhaps to be used for storage in the same way as the vaults beneath the Adelphi development in London, designed by Adam 1768 onwards.
		Like the bridging of the Lower Calton at the foot of the Viaduct, the main vehicle arch is flanked by two pedestrian arches, the former marked as eighteen feet wide and both the latter six feet.

		Bridge Street falls down towards Pulteney Bridge and there are gullies on either side of the road to catch surplus water.
		Pulteney Bridge has a cross fall across the width of the carriageway with some fall towards the gullies at its junction with Bridge Street.

	Pulteney Bridge, Bath - West Country - UK Attraction
		It was built for William Pulteney, whose wife had inherited rural Bathwick across the river from Bath.
		Pulteney could see the potential for development, but first a ferry had to be replaced by a bridge.
		The bridge has suffered so many changes that Adam would only recognise the south river front, yet it remains an architectural symbol of Bath.

		Begun in 1176, it was the first stone bridge to have been erected across the Thames and until 1763 it had boasted a famous parade of shops and houses on either side of a narrow thoroughfare.
		The last bridge of this type to be built in Britain was Pulteney Bridge constructed in Bath in 1773.
		Among the entries is one by Daniel Libeakind, originator of the "boiler house" proposal for the extension to the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

		Adam was also commissioned to produce plans for the layout of the Bathwick Estate in June 1777, and in December 1782 submitted to Pulteney further studies for the development of the riverside.
		Adam's designs were not executed, for in 1788 Pulteney's daughter, Henrietta Laura (1766-1808), granted ground leases for houses to be built by Thomas Baldwin (1750-1820).

	Pulteney Bridge, Bath
		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.

		Bridge House is a wonderful building only twenty yards from the eastern end of the world-famous Pulteney Bridge, and at the foot of the equally famous Great Pulteney Street (since become known to many as the location for much of the filming of Vanity Fair Reese Witherspoon).
		The Initiative has an entrance on the ground floor and then has full occupancy of the top three floors with seven rooms, three of which have splendid views across the weir below Pulteney Bridge and down into the town.
		This space makes it possible to provide all the administrative resources, which The Initiative requires as well as providing excellent library resources to house some four thousand books and numerous technical reports, articles and miscellaneous papers.
