Pulteney Bridge

One of the most photographed examples of Georgian architecture in the city and one of only four bridges in the world to have shops across its full span on both sides, Pulteney Bridge was designed in 1769 by Robert Adam.

The bridge is named after Frances Pulteney, wife of William Johnstone Pulteney. William was an important man in Georgian Bath, owning a lot of land in the surrounding area. 

The shops are small and the roadway is not wide, but when the bridge opened in 1770 it was a revelation. 

Famously, it was the scene of Javert's suicide in the 2012 film version of Les Misérables.
