I would really love to return to Bath some day. All I had heard about before visiting was the famous Roman Baths that gave the city its name. What I discovered is that Bath is full of old world architecture like that pictured here.

Pulteney Bridge was an especially fun discovery. Our bridges today are comparably quite boring really, just a way for cars and people to cross. In Britain and Europe, these bridges used to be lined with businesses. The Pulteney Bridge, built in 1773, crosses the River Avon, and is apparently one of four surviving bridges with shops spanning both sides of the bridge.

This is definitely one of those pieces of old world architecture that would be brilliant to examine and photograph from multiple perspectives. I could easily spend days stalking this bridge. Alas, I didn't have days and made the most of my time with this photo, which I really like for the human element. It's not just a bridge. Instead, we have old world shops with life abounding. Look at all the people on the opposite side of the bridge and of course, the little old lady out for a stroll in the left-hand foreground.

This print is definitely a slice of life from the streets of Bath - hope you think so too!

Pulteney Bridge is recognized by English Heritage as a grade I listed building.
