3 unusual facts about Great Pulteney Street


Great Pulteney Street

Great Pulteney Street is a grand thoroughfare that connects Bathwick on the east of the River Avon with the City of Bath, England via the Robert Adam designed Pulteney Bridge.

Famous former residents of the street have included the novelist Jane Austen and the anti-slavery campaigner William Wilberforce.

After completion of the main street in 1877 local residents petitioned and successfully raised significant funds to build a grand column (rather like Nelson's Column in London).
