Pulteney Weir of River Avon in England
Pulteney Weir of River Avon and the arcaded Pulteney Bridge in Bath, England. The now iconic V-shape design we see today was actually part of a complete rebuild in the early 1970s. A sluice and controlled flood gates were also added in the upgrade. But before that a horseshoe weir was in place since at least 1603 to prevent severe flooding throughout Bath

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of Pulteney Weir on the River Avon in Bath, England. The iconic V-shape design that we admire today is a result of a meticulous rebuild carried out in the early 1970s. This reconstruction also introduced a sluice and controlled flood gates to enhance its functionality. However, this historic landmark has been safeguarding Bath from devastating floods for centuries. Dating back to at least 1603, a horseshoe weir stood here before its transformation into the present structure. Its purpose was to protect the city from severe flooding, showcasing the ingenuity and foresight of those who came before us. The image showcases not only the magnificence of Pulteney Weir but also highlights another architectural gem - Pulteney Bridge. With its elegant arcades spanning across the river, it adds an enchanting touch to this picturesque scene. Photographer Paulo Amorim skillfully captures every detail with his keen eye for composition and color. The vibrant hues bring life to this image, immersing viewers in the tranquil ambiance of South West England's natural splendor. Whether you are an admirer of historical landmarks or simply appreciate breathtaking landscapes, this print will transport you to a place where history meets modernity amidst nature's awe-inspiring wonders.
