Pump Room Columns - Hanging baskets hang between the fluted columns at the front of the Royal Pump Rooms in Royal Leamington Spa.
In July 1814 'The Royal Pump Room and Baths', designed and built by C.S.Smith of Warwick at a reputed cost of £30,000, were officially opened.
The Spa treatment was claimed to cure, or relieve, a huge number of disorders, e.g. being 'stiffness of the tendons', 'rigidity of the joints', 'the effects of gout and rheumatism and various paralytic conditions'. The spa water is also a mild laxative!
