Cleveland Bridge in Bath

Cleveland Bridge was built on the site of an ancient ferry in Bath, England. He takes the main road A36 across the Avon River. The bridge is included in the list of World Heritage of Great Britain. A remarkable feature of the bridge is the unusual lodges that decorate each corner and resemble miniatures of Greek temples.

The bridge was built in 1826 using Bath’s warm golden stone and elegant cast-iron arch spans. It is one of the finest bridges of the late Georges in the Greek Renaissance style. In each corner of the bridge erected 4 houses with columned facades, reminiscent of small ancient temples. The census of the population of Great Britain indicates that since 1891 families lived in these houses or opened small shops.

Lodges, a distinctive feature of Cleveland Bridge, are also used as residential homes. Only in the house No. 2 is the gallery and studio of the famous ceramic artist Peter Hayes, whose sculptures are presented in exhibitions around the world.
