Laura Place was designed by Thomas Baldwin and John Eveleigh between 1788 and 1794. It lies at the end of Pulteney Bridge and consists of four blocks of houses around an irregular quadrangle with a fountain which was added in the late nineteenth century.
"Laura Place is part of the Bathwick Estate, "one of the most impressive of all Neoclassical urban set pieces in Britain". Laura Place is named after Henrietta Laura Pulteney (
