Royal Pump Room Museum
Description
The pump room was built over four springs that come to the surface here. One of the springs was directed to a tap outside for the poor to use, but the Strong Sulphur well - which was deemed to have the best health giving qualities was fed into a well inside the building, where the best of society would come each day during the season to take the waters. Today the pump room houses an exhibition on the history of the spring water in Harrogate, which propelled the town past it's formerly much richer and more important neighbour Knaresborough. There are also small exhibits from the general museum collection including ancient Greek pottery and Egyptology.
