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.

In 1799 Dr Thomas Beddoes opened a laboratory in Dowry Square as the Pneumatic Institution where he worked with Sir Humphry Davy.

Many of the buildings have been designated by English Heritage as grade II* or II listed buildings.
