Description
Harrogate in Yorkshire, England developed as a prosperous and flourishing spa town right back to the 16th century.
It was believed that the water from the many springs in the region had curative powers and people came from all over to drink the water. From the 1800s, more and more spa buildings were built to meet demand. One of these was the Royal Pump Room (the building that now houses the museum), a grand octagonal building opened in 1842 to replace the earlier building that had covered the popular Old Sulphur Well.
