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. It was rebuilt by John Pinch senior, surveyor to the Pulteney estate, in a less ambitious version of Adam's design. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Pulteney_Bridge   (389 words)

Pulteney In all, the scenery is magnificently rugged and impressive, though inland from the coast it is bleak, with scarcely a tree visible for miles. Pulteney is also one of the oldest distilleries in the north, although it has been vastly and thoroughly reequipped with the very latest aids to distilling. When Pulteney settled down as a popular and recognised distillery, the wash still adopted was capable of holding for distillation some 4,000 gallons. www.dcs.ed.ac.uk /home/jhb/whisky/smws/pulteney.html   (2323 words)

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. www.clanjohnston.org /pulteny.html   (4771 words)

The Pulteney Estate during the Nineteenth Century by James D. Folts For three-quarters of a century thereafter the Pulteney land office in Bath continued to be a center of economic power, an object of both public respect and resentment, and sometimes a target of political retaliation. This division of Sir William Pulteney's estate was the origin of the legal distinction between the Johnstone Estate (lands unsold at the time of Sir William's death) and the Pulteney Estate (lands sold conditionally at that date) in the account books kept by the land office clerks. Two prominent Bath attorneys writing in the 1850s found the Pulteney and Johnstone heirs and their agents guilty of a narrow, mean policy that ignored the plight of the settlers and hindered the development of Steuben County. www.crookedlakereview.com /articles/101_135/129fall2003/129folts.html   (8315 words)

Pulteney Bridge Pulteney Bridge is one of the most admired buildings in a beautiful city. Pulteney Bridge is one of only four bridges lined with shops in the world, but Robert Adam's creation has more than novelty value. 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. www.building-history.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk /Bath/Georgian/Pulteney-Bridge.htm   (882 words)

Significant Scots - Sir Pulteney Malcolm Thus launched at the early age of ten, young Pulteney’s first trial of his profession was a voyage to the Cape of Good Hope; and at his return he was transferred to the Jupiter of 60 guns. At its close, which consigned Napoleon to perpetual exile, Sir Pulteney was appointed commander-in-chief of the St. Helena station —a ticklish office, which brought him into frequent and friendly intercourse with the man whose movements he was obliged to watch, and whose chances of escape it was his duty to frustrate. Sir Pulteney continued in the command of the St. Helena station from the spring of 1816 till near the close of the following year; and when he left it he was on the best terms with Napoleon, who frequently afterwards used to speak of the pleasure he had enjoyed in his society. www.electricscotland.com /HISTORY/other/malcolm_pulteney.htm   (2115 words)

Pulteney Arms However, it is thought that the Pulteney Arms was built as a small mansion in 1759 and after the development of the Bathwick Estate was converted into an inn. This was completed in 1773, but Pulteney's original plans did not take effect until 1788 when Bath architect Thomas Baldwin started to create a new estate.
