Pittville Pump Room
Parcheggio
The Pittville Pump Room was the last and largest of the spa buildings to be built in Cheltenham.The benefits of Cheltenham's mineral waters had been recognised since 1716, but not until after the arrival of Henry Skillicorne in 1738 did serious exploitation of their potential as an attraction begin. After the visit to Cheltenham in 1788 of King George III, the town became increasingly fashionable, and wells were opened up at several points round the town.
