Dowry Square
Dowry Square is in the Hotwells area of Bristol.
It was laid out in 1727 by George Tully and building continued until 1750. The houses are three-storeyed with attics, simply detailed and with channelled pilasters to the party walls.[1]
In 1799 Dr Thomas Beddoes opened a laboratory in Dowry Square as the Pneumatic Institution[2] where he worked with Sir Humphry Davy.[3]
