Also known as: Pultney Bridge, Pulteney Bridge, Poultney Bridge
Pulteney Bridge, Grand Parade, Bath BA2 4AX, United Kingdom
Early plans of what would become the River Avon (above junction with the Kennet and Avon Canal) were drawn up by Edward Wood in 1888 but problems with Erewash Embankment caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1782. The 5 mile section between Presfield and Horsham was closed in 1888 after a breach at Bracknell. Despite the claim in "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Cecil Hunter, there is no evidence that Arthur Harding ever painted a mural of Bournemouth Aqueduct on the side of Henry Wright's house to raise money for Children in Need
