[edit] William and Robert Adam

Paragraph 3 refers to the brothers William and Robert Adam, but William Adam was Robert Adam's father, and died in 1848. Did he have a second son also called William, who was also an architect / builder? If so, please change the link I created to William Adam (architect) to something else.-gadfium (talk) 23:44, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Robert did have a brother William, but he wasn't an architect. I have changed it to James, as Robert and James were partners at this time. Edward Waverley 12:08, 27 Aug 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Design

Is there any chance this was designed by the same person who built, or is based on the idea of, the original London Bridge? Simply south 00:04, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] One of Four Bridges in the World?

If the Pulteney Bridge is in a set of four bridges in the world with shops along both sides of their span, and the set includes Ponte Vecchio in Florence and the Rialto Bridge in Venice, both in Italy, then where is or was number four? Not the OldLondon Bridge, which was long gone when Pulteney was built. --Suzikay (talk) 00:20, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
