Dowry Square is a square and green space in the Hotwells area of Bristol, England.
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]
Many of the buildings have been designated as Grade II* or Grade II listed.
