Queen Anne front and Mary Ann back - 2

This photo shows the reverse side of Pulteney Bridge, which spans the River Avon in Bath. It was designed by Robert Adam in a Palladian style and completed in 1774. As with Georgian architecture, the reversed side is often less grand than the front, as in the phrase "Queen Anne front and Mary Ann back".
