The Royal Pump Room from The Valley Gardens, Harrogate (Limited Edition Canvas Print)

The Spa Town of Harrogate is full of impressive, historical buildings, The Royal Pump Room however is one I have always wanted to paint. It was built in 1842 and built on a site of a sulphur well. it was from here that 1500 glasses were served per day to the Victorians for medicinal purposes.

I loved capturing this beautiful octagonal building in acrylic paint over the Summer, capturing the muted tones of the stone and details of The Pump Room, bathed in warm sunshine. A blackbird hopped by. The foliage and flowers were painted using moss, leaves and twigs.

The Royal Pump Room celebrates its 180th anniversary in 2022. It houses a museum which tells the story of this building.
