The Waterford Mirror, Ireland, December 29, 1824

He occupies two large houses, a street, however, separating the two houses; but to establish a communication between the two residences, without going into the street, Mr. Beckford has had a bridge, or gallery, built across the street, its basement being level with the first floor windows. By such means, the carriage way is not interrupted. This communication between the two houses is entirely enclosed; even the sun blinds to the windows appear to be always down.

The joined houses are at No. 20 Lansdown Crescent and No. 1 Lansdown Place West, Bath.
